Detailed Product Description and Specifications

This remanufactured rack and pinion assembly (part number 22-353) features a robust combination of steel and aluminum casting materials, offering a balance of strength and weight reduction. The assembly has two mounting holes spaced 6.75 inches (171.45 mm) apart, ensuring proper alignment and fitment. The input shaft measures 0.75 inches in diameter and 2.25 inches in length, compatible with the steering column interface of the specified Chrysler and Dodge models. The rack length is 48 inches (1219.20 mm), providing the correct steering ratio with 3.13 total turns from lock to lock. The assembly includes tie rod ends and uses O-ring type hose ports with metric thread sizes (M18 x 1.5 for pressure port and M16 x 1.5 for return port) for secure hydraulic connections. The steering rack is finished in black for corrosion resistance.

Common Steering Issues Addressed by This Rack and Pinion Assembly

  • Hard steering during initial driving periods, often referred to as "morning sickness"
  • Power steering pump whining caused by air in the system after rack replacement
  • Steering not returning to center after turns due to worn or faulty rack components
  • Loose or imprecise steering feel resulting from damaged or worn rack and pinion assembly
  • Hydraulic leaks or pressure loss in the steering system

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Ensure all mounting holes align precisely with the vehicle chassis for proper fitment
  • Use the included sealing kit to prevent hydraulic fluid leaks
  • Bleed the power steering system thoroughly after installation to remove air and prevent pump noise
  • Verify input shaft engagement and secure tie rod ends to factory torque specifications
  • Inspect related steering components for wear during installation to avoid premature failure
