What is the Steering Rack Mounting Bushings all about?

The power steering rack is the part that converts the steering wheel input into a usable side-to-side direction. The steering gear, or steering rack, is mounted to the frame of the vehicle. Since mounting it directly to the frame would cause extreme road noise and a ‘noisy’ steering feel, it is mounted by means of steering rack mounting bushings. These steel sleeves surround every mounting point on your vehicle’s steering rack. The sleeves themselves are also wrapped in a neoprene rubber. Together, bushings are able to dampen the natural vibration that occurs when driving and allow you to operate your vehicle without having excessive road noise or feedback in the steering wheel. If the steering rack mounting bushings are worn or have come loose, you will have a clunk in your steering wheel and less responsive steering overall.

Keep in mind:

  • Have a wheel alignment performed after the steering rack (or "steering gear") mounting bushings are replaced.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle front wheels are put straight and the vehicle is lifted and supported on jack stands
  • The defective steering rack mounting bushings are removed
  • The new steering rack mounting bushings are installed
  • The front tires are installed and the vehicle is removed from jack stands
  • The vehicle is started and checked for steering rack operation

Our recommendation:

The steering gear or rack is checked with every suspension and steering inspection performed on your vehicle. The steering rack mounting bushings are included during those inspections. If the steering rack mounting bushings are identified as worn or loose, have one of our expert mechanics replace them.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Steering Rack Mounting Bushings?

  • Steering jerks are inconsistent
  • When you take bumps, you feel a “clunk” in the steering column

How important is this service?

Steering rack mounting bushings are essential for the operation of your vehicle. While you can definitely drive with bad bushings, poor steering control could end in an accident.

GMC R3500 V8-5.7L - Brake System Inspection - Newark, New Jersey
Pretty good. My inspection for my brakes went very quick, (a little too quick.) Not the most thorough inspection. However, Tomas came to the same conclusion that I had already suspected and the problem is now "dually" analyzed. 15 minutes, and I'm good. Tomas was quite knowledgeable and polite. He came with the proper tools and equipment to say the least and was promptly on time for the booked appointment. I would consider requesting Tomas again for similar work. Thanks again to Tomas and the team at YourMechanic for helping out.

GMC Acadia V6-3.6L - Strut Assembly Replacement (Front) - Fayetteville, Georgia
Son was very Professional, knowledgeable and prompt on time. He arrived earlier than scheduled and I was very please with that. He is what I would consider to be TOP-NOTCH, that word is used in the Military a lot basically he is an expert. He replaced my Struct assembly, Son knows his stuff and he's fast. I was very happy and pleased with the service that I got from Son. I will diffidently use Yourmechanic service again in the future if needed. I must admit that I was very skeptical about using Yourmechanic service at first, BECAUSE, its hard to find honest mechanics that you can trust. I had never heard of a mobile Mechanic that will come to your home or office, this is very Convenient and the price is fair and better that the Dealers prices. It took me 5 months to actually build up enough courage to make an appointment. I am so happy that I finally did make an appointment, and I didn't have to go to the dealers to get my car fixed. Everyone know that the Dealers will charge an arm and a leg, they are to expensive! I'm thankful that I found YourMechanic, they delivered excellent service!!!!!! Thank you Son!!!!

Kevin was attentive, patient, and informative. He clearly understands the benefit customer recidivism which is why I would ask for him specifically on future service request.
