PWR 42-2660 Rack and Pinion for Land Cruiser and LX570

PWR 42-2660 is a hydraulic rack and pinion assembly built for direct-fit replacement on select Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX570 applications. It is engineered for straightforward installation and is 100% tested for leaks, pressure, noise, and function before release.

Key Features

• Hydraulic rack and pinion assembly
• Direct-fit design for easier installation
• Inner tie rods included
• Gasket or seal included
• USA engineering approved
• End-to-end length: 1235
• 3.5 turns lock to lock
• 36-spline steering input shaft
• 17.4 steering input shaft diameter
• Female inlet and outlet line fittings

Detailed Description

This PWR rack and pinion assembly, part number 42-2660, is a hydraulic steering gear replacement for 2008-2011 Toyota Land Cruiser, 2013-2019 Toyota Land Cruiser, 2008-2011 Lexus LX570, and 2013-2016 Lexus LX570. It is built as a direct-fit unit to match the original steering layout and hydraulic connection points, with inner tie rods and seals included for service-ready installation. The assembly uses a 2-hole mounting pattern, female inlet and outlet fittings, and a 36-spline input shaft to support OE-style replacement on these full-size SUV platforms. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 3676, 3110211) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Steering play or looseness in the wheel
• Fluid leakage from the rack and pinion assembly
• Rough or inconsistent hydraulic steering response
• Noisy steering operation caused by internal wear
• Worn steering gear performance on Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX570 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and hydraulic steering configuration before installation. Confirm line fitting size, input shaft spline count, and mounting points against the original unit to ensure proper alignment. Because mounting hardware and brackets are not included, reuse or source the required vehicle-specific hardware as needed. After installation, bleed the hydraulic system and inspect for leaks, steering effort, and centered wheel position.

Quality Assurance

PWR states that its pumps, racks, and gears are tested for leaks, pressure, noise, and function, and this unit is USA engineering approved. That testing helps support consistent steering performance on compatible Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX570 applications.
