Rack & Pinion Steering Gear Replacement
Rack and pinion replacement restores precise vehicle handling by removing the worn or leaking steering assembly and installing a new or remanufactured unit. This service includes alignment of tie rods, power steering fluid flush, and a test drive to ensure smooth, responsive steering control.
At Apex Automotive, we specialize in expert rack and pinion steering gear replacement along with comprehensive brake, steering, and suspension services. Your personal mechanic, David Jr., leads every appointment with a diagnostic-first philosophy to accurately identify the root cause of your vehicle’s issues before recommending any repairs. We understand that steering system faults are safety-critical and demand precise attention—not a 'parts cannon' approach of replacing components blindly. Instead, we rely on advanced diagnostic tools and years of experience to deliver honest, reliable assessments tailored to your vehicle's specific needs.
Rack and pinion steering gear problems can cause symptoms such as uneven steering, excessive play in the steering wheel, leaking power steering fluid, or unusual noises while turning. These issues, if left unaddressed, can affect your vehicle’s handling and safety, especially on Arizona roads. The intense summer heat, frequent dust exposure, and the stop-and-go traffic of Loop 101, 202, and US-60 put extra stress on your steering and suspension components. At Apex Automotive, we thoroughly inspect your steering system to detect wear caused by heat-cycled components and environmental factors.
Whether you’re experiencing minor steering difficulty or a more severe suspension concern, our team is equipped to provide precise rack and pinion steering gear replacement and full suspension diagnostics and repair. We take the time to explain our findings clearly, empowering you to make informed decisions about your vehicle’s maintenance. Our commitment to transparency, quality parts, and skilled workmanship has earned the trust of drivers across Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, and the entire East Valley.
All services are by appointment only, ensuring focused attention and a personalized experience. Call us to schedule your diagnostic-first steering inspection and keep your vehicle safe and reliable on Arizona’s challenging roads.
