New Rack & Pinion Assembly from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ASTG00003
This video shows you how to install a power steering rack and pinion assembly on your 1997-2003 Lexus ES300. The rack and pinion assembly transforms the turning motion of your steering wheel to the push and pull motions that turn the front wheels of your vehicle, as well as adding the power assistance. If the steering rack on your vehicle is leaking, or damaged in some way, you might need to replace it entirely.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1997 Lexus ES300
1998 Lexus ES300
1999 Lexus ES300
2000 Lexus ES300
2001 Lexus ES300

Notes from someone who just did this: -Buy a ball joint separator, hammering might work, but can mess up the threads. Just buy it. -There is a bracket for the high pressure supply that 100% has to come off, skipped in video. -Rear upstream 02 sensor probably needs to come out, I tried many angles to get it past with no success. -I took the rack out the right hand side, seemed easier. -I also replaced the high pressure supply (U shaped), one bracket is on the back of engine, I had to lay in the engine bay to re-assemble. It took me an honest 10 hours to get this done, every fastener will be corroded and fight you. Every skip in the video he is fighting. Some I had to use a floor jack against a breaker bar to loosen. But it’s doable, and you’ll learn tricks for the future. Thank you TRQ for the video.

That repair looks hard so I'd better save up. But thanks, for showing the work I will pay someone else for.

going to add: the steering intermediate shaft and rack shaft can be tough. THE TRICK: remove the lower bolt on the column coupler, the one inside the car, on the floor board. it's the bolt closer to the floor. you don't need to remove the entire coupler underneath. Once you take out the single bolt, you can push up the yoke on the firewall side, and then slip it over the steering rack. Also, lube everything up with some white lithium grease. Without removing that bolt, you won't be able to move the yoke over the steering rack.

Perfect video! it save me a lot of money. I followed the procedure but I did't need to remove both outer tie rods and no need to remove the inside driver joint, just loose the lower nut (no need remove), this will easily center the wheel. moover, we can use the seat bell of the driver to hold the wheel. Thanks.

Thanks for this! I was thinking dropping the subframe was going to be req'd. But now I see there's room.

Any tips on breaking the line free on the rack I can’t use a leverage bar cause it gives me no turning room

Will this rack work on the same vehicle Right Hand Drive?
