Product Overview

This rack and pinion assembly is engineered for steering replacement work where the original unit has wear, leakage, or inconsistent assist. PWR states that its racks and gears are USA engineering approved and fully tested for leaks, pressure, noise, and function before release. The PWR 42-2098 also cross-references Cardone New 97-2647 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Steering fluid leaks from the rack assembly
• Excessive steering play or loose on-center feel
• Noise during steering input
• Uneven or inconsistent hydraulic assist
• Worn internal rack components affecting control

Installation Notes

Verify hydraulic line fitting sizes, input shaft spline count, and overall rack dimensions before installation. Mounting hardware and mounting brackets are not included, so reuse or source the required vehicle-specific hardware as needed. Inner tie rods are included; outer tie rods are not.

Quality Assurance

PWR tests each rack and pinion assembly for leaks, pressure, noise, and function to confirm proper operation before it leaves the factory. The direct-fit design supports a cleaner replacement process on Toyota Tacoma steering repairs.
