What this part does
The steering rack is the primary mechanism that converts the rotational movement of the steering wheel into the linear motion required to turn the front wheels. Bolted directly to the front subframe, this hydraulic unit utilizes pressurized power steering fluid to assist the driver, reducing the physical effort required during low-speed maneuvers and parking. When the steering gear begins to fail, it typically presents as visible fluid leaks from the inner tie rod boots, excessive play or dead zones in the steering wheel, a stiff or binding sensation when turning, or heavy clunking noises from the front end when driving over uneven surfaces.

Before you order
Verify that your vehicle is equipped with the standard hydraulic power steering system matching this 7P5422055N unit. Prior to installing this steering rack, the entire power steering system must be completely flushed to remove any metallic debris or degraded fluid from the previous failure. Failure to flush the lines and reservoir will force contaminants into the replacement seals, causing premature leaks. Use only the manufacturer-specified Pentosin CHF 11S or equivalent green synthetic hydraulic fluid. A professional four-wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after installation to center the steering angle sensor and restore correct vehicle tracking.
