Q: How to Install a Rack and Pinion Steering Gear on Jeep Grand Cherokee?
A:
Before fitting the rack and pinion, place and fasten the steering column module in the center to prevent harm. If you removed the outer tie rod ends, install them first and then replace the rack and pinion in the vehicle as you took it out. Fit the tie bolts into the rack and pinion's holes and bolt them in place with 244 Nm (180 ft. lbs.) of force. After that, fit the front splash shield and only loosen the jam nuts on the outer tie rod ends. Place the outer tie rod ends onto the knuckle and screw the tie rod end nut until the torque is 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.). Screw the pressure and return hoses to the rack and pinion, followed by tightening each to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). The column coupler shaft should be inserted into the lower coupling and then fastened in place with a tightened bolt at 49 Nm (36 ft. lbs.). For 4x4s, you should first put in the front axle housing unit and then the wheel and tire. Lift it up off the supports and remove the lock out on the steering wheel. Once the wheels are adjusted, fill the Power Steering Pump and then set the toe.

Afterward, take out the front splash shield and, if it's a 4X4 model, lift the front axle up. With the bolt (2) removed, push the rack and pinion (1) all the way over to the right, let it down, then return it to the left position to clear it from the Control Arm (2) under the vehicle. Remove the outer tie rod ends from the rack and pinion, if needed.
