How to Install a Rack and Pinion System to Ensure Optimal Performance on Dodge Ram 2500?

It is important to look at the bushings before you download the rack and pinion and take care of any that seem worn or damaged. For the frame, two holes are made to support the rack and pinion; first tighten the bolt found in the round hole to keep the rack and pinion from moving. Attach the front rack onto the front crossmember, then tighten the bolts (2) to a torque of 251 Nm (185 ft. lbs.). Thread the shaft coupler on the cover of the rack and pinion, insert a new pinch bolt and turn the bolt 49 Nm (36 ft. lbs.) tight. Dry and clean the tie rod end studs and clear the knuckle tapers. Then, push on the tie rod ends to the steering knuckles and tighten the nuts to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.) plus an added 90°. Link the pressure power steering hose to the rack and pinion and tighten it to 32 Nm (23 ft. lbs.), then tighten the return power steering hose to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). Install the front skid plate and place the tire and wheel combination on next. With the support on the ground, remove the stand and lower the vehicle. Place fluid in the ankle and move the toe depending on your needs.

How to Service and Repair a Rack and Pinion with Independent Front Suspension on Dodge Ram 2500?

When repairing or serving the rack and pinion in vehicles with independent front suspension, begin by locking the steering wheel in place. Empty the reservoir of power steering fluid and then raise the car once you have done so. The first step is to get rid of the steering coupler pinch bolt and then remove both power steering hoses from the rack and pinion. After that, remove the wheel and tire assembly, undo the tie rod end nuts and pull the tie rod ends from their mounts with puller 8677. Following this, remove the skid plate and the rack and pinion bolts (numbered 1). Afterward, take the rack and pinion (2) out of the vehicle.

The Steering Rack in Dodge Ram 2500 vehicle plays an important role of translating the rotary motion of the steering wheel into shunt movement of the front wheels. Rather than depending on linkage system, this mechanism uses a pinion gear that interlocks with a rack gear encased in a metal tube, enabling the driver to have control on the steering. Current models commonly used in the market have electric power steering which uses a hydraulic powered rack in the Dodge Ram 2500 for ease of steering and responsiveness. Dodge Ram 2500 vehicles have mostly employed hydraulic power rack and pinion set-ups and while the use of manual systems have been, it is presently limited to small cars. There is the likelihood of efficiency reduction of the hydraulic system due to problems like leakage or worn out parts that may call for replacement of the Steering Rack. The usage of straight helical gears in the rack and pinion assembly also determines gear performance with straight gears considered as better performers, unlike helical gears that produce heat during operation.
