2009 Toyota Sequoia Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and replace the Rack And Pinion on 2009 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: Start by facing front wheels in a straight position and proceed with taking off the front wheels before you begin. The next step involves disconnecting the engine assembly according to appropriate procedures which differ between 3UR-FE 2UZ-FE and 3UR-FEB engine types. Start by marking the shaft alignment then the power rack and pinion before removing the bolting components and intermediate shaft. Use Specific Service Tool: 09610-20012 to sever the left-hand tie rod end sub-assembly from the steering knuckle while using the tool to keep it from falling and protecting front disc brake dust cover and ball joint dust cover and steering knuckle. Perform the same tie rod end sub-assembly disconnection steps on the right-hand side. The technician should utilize a union nut wrench to detach both return tube side and pressure feed tube side from the power rack and pinion and afterward remove the two clamping bolts from the pressure feed tube assembly. The power rack and pinion assembly can be extracted through removal of two bolts and two nuts without turning the nut because it has its built-in stopper feature but you should loosen the bolt as you maintain the nut in position.
