Steering System: Gear: Description

GC0177045Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC

The steering gear is the rack-and-pinion type with Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist. It is mounted on the front suspension crossmember, and the front crossmember must be removed from the vehicle to service the steering gear. The only serviceable parts of the steering gear are the inner tie rods, outer tie rods, and the inner tie rod bellows.

The EPS system is only serviced as an assembly, including the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS).

NOTE:

If a NEW  steering gear is installed, programming is required. Refer to MODULE PROGRAMMING .
