Used or New EPS rack

[RupertPupkin]

If anyone needs a new rack here's the seller from eBay. New, no warranty, but you can buy Allstate 1 year. It was 1060 to my door compared to 2000-2300

Got the rack put, and my oh my. Steering is superrrrr light. Even lighter than before. I guess part of my header was hitting the steering rack, which couldn't be seen from above.

Props to Koza.

After 2 days, steering went out AGAIN!! FML!!! New everything, and it's out again.

My header hits the steering shaft at the u-joint/boot.

No codes, which was weird. The "service power steering didn't even come up. I did put the eps ground on the panel referenced in the pic. When the eps did act up, there was a fair amount of rain. Could be water intrusion?... maybe? Once I parked the car for 10-15 minutes and everything was dry, everything was back to normal.

I just moved the ground back to the post where the CAI usually sits. Hopefully that resolves it.

I guess that's where it was hitting/running as well.

Did you check for codes or just going by no message/warning? It might have stored a code without triggering anything.

No. Didn't check for codes. Just no message warning. If there was a stored code, would that trigger the message?

[gtstorey]

Codes don't always trigger lights/warning. They are sometimes set up to need more than one occurrence to trigger or to not trigger at all. I would expect steering issues to trigger first time, but it's not impossible that its set up differently.

How hard to swap over to a hydraulic system like the 10-13’s?

Seems like a grounding issue. Cleared the codes.

You cleared the codes after you installed the new EPS and these set since then?

Are you running anything plugged into the OBD2 port?

You should always confirm code descriptions to the correct oem service manual and not rely on the aftermarket diagnostic scanner.

Everything was cleared by the shop that I went to. Same shop that did my engine/ suspension etc etc. The codes were cleared when I spoke to them.

When the steering went out, I think I had my dash logic in. I don't remember . I did check the codes that corresponds to what GM says and the forum.
