If you're replacing the steering rack on a Nissan Pathfinder 4x4, there’s one step many people miss — you MUST drop the front axle to get the rack out.

In this video I show the complete Nissan Pathfinder steering rack replacement step-by-step, including every bolt location and the ones that usually fight you during removal.

I also explain the best method to remove and reinstall the rack and pinion, the areas you need to be careful with to avoid damage, and why a wheel alignment is required after this repair.

This guide walks through the tight bolts, hidden clearance issues, and the correct way to lower the front differential / axle so you can safely remove the steering rack without unnecessary frustration.

If you're dealing with steering play, leaking power steering fluid, or rack failure, this guide will walk you through the full process.
