2012 Outback 2.5L Steering Rack - Part 2 - Auto Repair
Channel: HouseCallAutoRepair
Date: 2022-12-24

In this video, the new power steering rack is already in it's craddle, and partially back in the car. Both control arms are fitted in place, but loose. Strut assemblies have been removed, and need to be fitted with the new ball joints, and reinstalled. New sway bar links are installed, rack is lined up, and the whole subframe and suspension is completed. (not shown on camera: The rack was flushed, and an inline filter was installed as per manufacturer recommendation)

As a bonus, a DIY string wheel alignment completes the job...

Time to complete this job is about 6-7 hours in a shop, but more like 10 hours in an initial DIY capacity.

 I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actrons, DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics.  I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.
