A steering malfunction is indicated by characteristic knocks, which are accompanied by an unpleasant twitching of the steering wheel on rough roads. There are two ways out - replacing the steering rack with your own hands or repairing the old rack.
The first option is more reliable, below we will talk about how to do this.
What is needed for work
WD40
- A set of wrenches, socket and ratchet heads.
- Tip remover.
- Hammer and thin screwdriver.
- Liquid key.
- Rags.
- Wooden supports.
The procedure for conducting preparatory work
- Before starting work, we install the car on a level place and block the parking brake. For reliability, place bricks under the rear wheels. After fixing the car, go to the front.
- We put the steering wheel in the neutral position.
- Loosen the wheel nuts one by one.
When all the work has been done, we jack up one side of the car, remove the wheel and, having installed the supports, lower the car. We do the same on the other side. Thus, you will free access to the steering tips, which will make it easier to remove the steering rack.
Before unscrewing the steering tips, clean the mounting bolts from dirt with a metal brush, and pour over with a solution of WD (liquid wrench).
While the liquid is still corroding rust, we move into the engine compartment and free access to the steering rack.
Free removal will be prevented by a gas adsorber and an alarm siren (if any). Carefully unscrew the terminals and remove them to the side.
Removing the tips
If you change the tips together with the steering wheel, then when dismantling the old ones, you can knock them out with a hammer, if not, then it is better to use a puller.
Pliers remove the key from the fastening nut and unscrew it. We insert the fork-shaped mount under the rubber seal, and we put the upper part of the finger on the tip bolt. We tighten the puller nut until it stops and with a hammer blow we knock out the tip from the rack mount.
The sequence of work on removing the rail
- We loosen the fasteners of the cross. This connection is located inside the passenger compartment under the brake pedal. Remove the rubber mat and lift up the trim so that nothing is in your way. The internal fastening is made in the form of a clamp with small slots and to release it will be necessary to unscrew only one nut.
- We return under the hood and turn off the nuts securing the steering clamps.
- The rail is free, it remains only to remove it. Taking the body with both hands, begin, loosening, pull it towards you. If you can’t remove it, it means that the spline connection in the cabin is stuck. Take a hammer and tap lightly on it.
- When you have completely disconnected all the fasteners, carefully pull the steering rack through the hole in the wheel arch space. In order to remove it smoothly, you will have to turn it to the right or left so that the splined shaft fits into the recess. In which direction to turn, be guided by the place.
Remove the steering wheel very carefully so as not to damage the fuel hose or electrical wiring. It is better if you do all the work with an assistant .
The rail is removed - we remove it to the side and begin preparations for installing a new one.
Installation instructions
- Clean all seats with a brush and sandpaper. Treat the landing studs with grease or graphite grease.
- Before installing a new rail, open the plugs and fill the holes with lithol.
- Now we start the rail in the engine compartment. This is done in the reverse order of removal. Carefully turn it around the axis so as not to damage the mechanisms and wiring.
- We put the rail on the studs, put on the clamps and bait the nuts.
When connecting the splined part to the steering “worm”, you will need an assistant. One directs from the outside, the second connects to the clamp in the cabin. The main thing is that the notch on the slots coincides with the hole in the clamp. Otherwise, you will not be able to insert the mounting bolt.
- At the last stage, you need to tighten the stud nuts. This must be done sequentially, first twisting them a little and then tightening them to the limit.
- The rail is installed, we put on the tips, wrap them and install the wheels.
Be sure to adjust the camber after installation.
Video
Before starting work, watch a video on how to remove the steering rack yourself:
Determining a malfunction in the steering rack is easy. There are several main signs that indicate a breakdown:
- the appearance of traces of a leak near the seals;
- the occurrence of difficulties with driving a car;
- accompanying the movement of Toyota Corona / Caldina with extraneous sounds;
- corrosion coating of the rod surface;
- the appearance of backlash rails.
To understand what caused the problem, a detailed diagnosis will allow. It will also show whether repairs can help or whether a complete replacement of the rail will be a mandatory measure to eliminate the problem. Repair of a separate part of the steering rack will be cheaper. But, unfortunately, he cannot fully restore the working life of the part.
How correct is this decision? It's hard to judge. However, the dismantling and installation of the steering rack on the Toyota Corona / Caldina can be performed by every car owner, even without experience in repair work. The only thing you need for work is a tool and detailed instructions. If you follow the algorithm very carefully, listening to the recommendations, you can quickly complete the procedure and the result will be no worse than in the service.

Let's start disassembling the rack.1
23
I hope the report will be useful for someone.Let's start disassembling the rack.
1 with a key of 12 we unscrew the return tubes, during installation it is necessary to change the sealing gum (any tractor shop issue price is 50 rubles)
2 with the same key for 12 we unscrew the body of this mechanism and remove it (if it is necessary to change the Teflon rings, there is a retaining ring, remove it and change it, there is also a sealing rubber ring)3 to pull out the camshaft, it is necessary to unscrew the protective cap with a key of 24 (it is necessary to drill the factory core (fixation), then with a key of 17 the lower nut of the camshaft and unscrewing it counterclockwise, we take it out
And then the reason for the "tight steering" was discovered - the oil seal was not put in place. When installing the housing back without taking the camshaft out of the rack, the oil seal does not sit about 2-3 mm in place and the fluid is not at the same pressure, etc. Plus, together with the lubrication on the worm pair, gur's slurry was found, but it should not be there.
we seal the gasket or what is left of it and assemble it in the reverse order. We pump the system and rejoice. After installing the oil seal in place, my problems disappeared, which means that it was the cause of the "tight steering". Thank you so much for reading so many letters, please do not beat this my first report. I apologize for breaking it into two parts, but more than 12 attachments do not work.
I hope the report will be useful for someone.
The Toyota Camry steering rack is a hydraulic booster, the mechanism that is necessary to reduce the effort of turning the steering wheel of a car. Another auxiliary part is a special fluid, which is sent under high pressure to the cylinder of the steering control part. All liquid in the cylinder is pumped through a special separating valve, which, focusing on the degree of rotation, regulates the pressure level in the mechanism.
The principle of operation of the steering rack
The distributor pumps the poured liquid when the steering wheel is turned; in the normal position, it, guided by the pump, goes back into the reservoir. It is noteworthy that in this case the pressure drops to zero. The pump is driven by a belt worn on the engine crankshaft pulley.
Steering rack failure is a common problem in Japanese cars. Toyota Camry owners often complain about tapping in the steering wheel or leaking in the steering rack. None of the problems brings happiness, the car requires urgent repair of the steering rack. Maintenance requires contacting a technical service, many problems can be fixed by yourself.
Steering rack replacement
It is more convenient to remove the steering rack by 30 on a flyover or lift. The part itself is fixed with two bolts, which are quite difficult to get through without special equipment. Steering tips are pulled out of the hubs, then proceed to the rack itself.
A little advice! In order for nothing to interfere and it was possible to repair the part, remove the stabilizer. It is quite difficult to unscrew it (located in a difficult place). The whole problem is in the bolt, which is installed close to the body, which means that it has to be twisted a little. After the stabilizer is disconnected from the rest, the access to the fixing bolts is open (usually there are no problems with them).
- The bolts do not need to be unscrewed immediately, so that later it will be easier to release the cardan from the rack and remove the high pressure hoses. We take the key to twelve and move into the engine compartment.
- There you need to find and unscrew the cardan, then unscrew the two bolts in the cabin (also 12, located at the driver's feet).
- Now the element moves along the slots, it can be disconnected.
- We remove the high pressure hoses (you need to substitute some container in advance to drain the liquid) and bolts.
- Then you need to check that the rail is not holding anything, and pull it out. It's best to shoot it together.
- Assembly of Toyota 30, 40 is carried out in the reverse order. Assembly videos can be found online.
- When all the nodes are assembled, you need to fill the liquid into the hydraulic booster system until it stops and turn the steering wheel in different directions, while adding to the reservoir if necessary.
