What does the rack and pinion assembly replace?
▾
The New Power Steering Rack and Pinion Assembly replaces the entire steering rack, including the pinion gear, ball joints, seals, and mounting brackets. It is a full-replacement unit that eliminates the need to source individual components, ensuring that the steering system returns to its original OEM specifications for 1998-2002 LX470 and Land Cruiser vehicles.
Does it include all necessary hardware?
▾
Yes. The package ships with the rack, pinion gear, sealed ball joints, front and rear bushings, all required seals, and the mounting hardware needed for a bolt-on installation. While the kit contains the mechanical parts, it does not include the power-steering fluid or the specialized tools for bleeding the system, which must be sourced separately.
How long is the warranty?
▾
The assembly comes with a limited 12-month warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. The warranty is void if the part is installed incorrectly, modified, or used with non-OEM fluid. Registration on the seller’s website may be required to activate the warranty and receive support.
Is professional installation required?
▾
Professional installation is strongly recommended because the steering rack must be aligned, torqued to factory specifications, and the system bled to remove air bubbles. Incorrect installation can lead to steering instability or premature wear. If you have experience with suspension and steering work, you can install it yourself, but most shoppers opt for a qualified mechanic.
Can it be used on both LX470 and Land Cruiser models?
▾
Yes. The rack and pinion assembly is engineered to fit both the 1998-2002 Lexus LX470 and the corresponding Toyota Land Cruiser models that share the same steering architecture. The part numbers 44250-60050, 44250-60060, and related OEM references confirm compatibility across these two vehicle lines.
