So I am 99% sure my steering rack is what's causing my steering wheel knock and stiffness issues right now after replacing everything else on the front end besides the steering shaft.

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for changing the steering rack on this car? I have found a couple videos on the 3rd gen TLs, but not on a 4th gen with sh-awd. Every video I've found, you're disconnecting power steering fluid lines and moving the pump. With the electric steering rack, there's none of that. Does the sh-awd differ too much to use the 3rd gen tutorial?

 

 

Uhh, I really hope I won't have to do this after i had the engine out 3 months ago, today i started getting 33-01 with intermittent power steering failure , Lower FET stuck ON , doesn't look like TBS is covering for that code

 

Maybe it's a module?
Diagnostics needed

 

hmm, interesting, it sure could be, it would be way less of a headache to change for sure. I was chatting with one fella on FB that had same problem I have, he said it ended up being rack and pinion. Thanks for the document, I'll have to do this testing next week once I get back home
