Fitment Details

Compatible with 2000-2004 Dodge Dakota and 2000-2003 Dodge Durango. This PWR 42-1329 steering rack is a direct replacement for hydraulic steering systems used on these applications. It cross-references Gates 22349 for the same application.

What This Steering Rack Helps Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness
• Fluid leakage from a worn rack and pinion assembly
• Noise or roughness during steering input
• Uneven steering feel caused by internal wear
• Failure of internal hydraulic sealing components

Installation Notes

Verify steering input shaft diameter, line fitting size, and mounting points before installation. This assembly uses a hydraulic design with a 20 mm steering input shaft, 16 mm inlet and outlet fittings, and a 3.2 lock-to-lock turn ratio. Mounting hardware and mounting brackets are not included, so reuse or source the required vehicle-specific components as needed.
