• Q: How to reassemble the Rack And Pinion on 2008 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: Perform the rack and pinion reassembly process by fastening the power steering rack and pinion assembly with Special Service Tool: 09612-00012 while avoiding excessive vise tightening when possible. First apply silicon grease to the small opening of the No. 2 rack and pinion boot before installing it correctly onto the rack housing without damaging or tweaking the boot. Repetitively follow the identical boot procedure on the No. 1 rack and pinion boot. Tighten the 2 new boot clamps with Special Service Tool: 09521-24010 until a standard clearance of 3.0 mm (0.119 in.) is achieved while paying attention to avoid boot damage. The 2 boot clips need to be installed through plier use while positioning the claws in their proper orientation. To install the tie rod end sub-assembly LH adjust the matchmarks between the tie rod and rack end before installing the temporary tie rod followed by toe-in adjustment until the lock nut reaches a torque of 82 Nm (836 kgf-cm, 61 ft-lbf) temporarily. The same procedure should be used for installing the tie rod end sub-assembly RH.
