How to Service and Repair a Rack and Pinion with Independent Front Suspension on Dodge Ram 1500?

Lock the steering wheel first when starting to service or repair a vehicle's rack and pinion with independent front suspension. Remove the reservoir cap, drain the fluid, after which lift the car. Unplug and throw away the steering coupler pinch bolt, then disconnect the power steering lines from the rack and pinion. After that, take the tire and wheel assembly off and use Special tool 8677 to unclip the tie rod ends from the knuckles after you've removed the tie rod end nuts. After removing the skid plate and the rack and pinion bolts, you should lift the rack and pinion out of your vehicle. After unpacking the newest parts, inspect your bushings and make certain to replace worn or broken ones. While installing, line up the gear on the front crossmember and bolts it on securely to 319 Nm (235 ft. lbs.), with the bolt in the slotted hole being tightened first to prevent the gasket from pushing. Slide the coupler shaft onto the gear, secure a new pinch bolt and fasten it to 49 Nm (36 ft. lbs.). Wipe the tie rod end studs and knuckle tapers dry, place the tie rod ends into the steering knuckles and use a torque wrench to tighten the nuts to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.) and then add another 90° of tightening. Hook up the pressure power steering hose to the rack and pinion and secure it using 32 Nm (23 ft. lbs.), next hook up the return power steering hose and secure it using 71 Nm (52 ft. lbs.). Once you've reinstalled the tire and wheel assembly, as well as the front skid plate, remove the support and bring the vehicle down. After that, put fluid in the system and check the toe position.

The Steering Rack in Dodge Ram 1500 is needed to translate rotational movement of the steering wheel into the lateral movement of the front wheels. This mechanism employs a rack and pinion system, the pinion interlocking with the rack which is contained in a metall tubular structure in order to effect a smooth steering action. The majority of contemporary manufactures of Dodge Ram 1500 have used power-assisted steering racks where hydraulic systems are used to ease the pressure steering by directing the fluid inside the piston of the rack. The Dodge Ram 1500 vehicles have mainly used hydraulic power rack and pinion systems in the past decades while manual systems have been used in compact vehicles occasionally. The hydraulic setup is mostly used due to its initial performance and leak-age characteristics as compared to straight gears which are commonly used for lower temperatures and less wear of the gears as compared to helical gears. Maintenance should be done frequently because even a small fluid leakage or wear and tear may result in steering problems, which probably may call for Steering Rack replacements.
