geethasri Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I have about 107K miles on my 2007 RX350. My local mechanic person showed me leaks on both ends from rack and pinion and suggesting me to replace. Any suggestions on the manufacturers and part numbers? Thanks.

zieke Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I had the same problem, called Lexus, and got them to foot the bill for the rack, but I had to pay labor, which was not cheap. but better than nothing. Racks leaking was a problem with those cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geethasri Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi Zieke, sorry that you had to go through that trouble. Would you share some details with me on how you were able to get Lexus pay for the part? I greatly appreciate your help. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zieke Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Sure. Altho I had 60k on my RX, I called Lexus customer service and asked for a little "goodwill" concerning the steering rack on the premise that this was a continuing problem with their racks. I maintained that a properly built steering rack should last a long time without leaking through the seals. I also told them I would buy an aftermarket unit (much cheaper) if I could not get any satisfaction. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
