Detailed Description

Its aluminum housing, OE-style mounting layout, and specified port/thread dimensions support a direct steering gear replacement where the original unit has worn, leaked, or developed excess play. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 26-3079, 49001-JL06A) for the same application.
For fitment-based searches, this rack and pinion assembly is listed for 2014-2015 Infiniti Q60 and 2008-2013 Infiniti G37 configurations noted above. The Maval 93281M is a remanufactured rack and pinion assembly intended for hydraulic steering service on those vehicles, with inner tie rods included to simplify steering gear replacement planning.
What It Helps Address
- Steering looseness or excessive free play
- Hydraulic steering fluid leakage at the rack
- Uneven or inconsistent steering assist
- Binding, notchiness, or rough steering effort
- Worn steering gear response on Infiniti G37 and Infiniti Q60 models
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify vehicle configuration before ordering: 2008 Infiniti G37 without Active Steering, 2009 Infiniti G37 without Rear Active Strg, and 2010-2013 Infiniti G37 without Sport Tune Susp. are the listed applications. Confirm the pressure and return port thread sizes, hose port type, input shaft dimensions, and mounting hole spacing against the original unit before installation. After replacement, inspect the power steering pump and fluid condition if assist concerns remain, especially if contamination was present in the system.
Quality Assurance
