If you want your steering to feel tight and confident again without replacing the whole rack, you’re in the right place. At Klifex, we stock the small, dependable parts that let you fix play, stop leaks, and quiet knocks: steering rack belts, seal kits, bushings, sleeves, and bearings. Swap the worn bits, not the whole unit, and get the original feel back without a big bill:
- Fix the symptom: play, noise, leak, or loss of assist.
- Match by vehicle or OE number for correct fit.
- Get kits for bearings, bushings, sleeves, and power steering rebuild kits.

What the Parts Do
Bearings, bushings, and sleeves keep the rack shaft centered and spinning smoothly. Seals protect against fluid and dirt. Steering rack belts in EPS systems transfer torque for electric assist. Together, these small parts control friction, play, and noise so the wheel feels precise and steady.
When any of these wear, the result is obvious: looseness at the wheel, a knocking noise over bumps, fluid on the floor, or a whining assist motor. Replacing the right component returns the rack to predictable service.
How to Tell What’s Wrong
Start with the symptom and perform a quick physical inspection to narrow the cause. Play or slop at the wheel usually means worn bushings or sleeves. Knocks or rattles often point to bearing wear or loose brackets. Leaks are usually seal-related and need a steering rack seal kit.
A lift and a feel for lateral play will tell you whether to order a steering rack bushing kit, a steering rack bearing kit, or a sealing kit, saving time and avoiding unnecessary parts.
Repair Kits Versus Full Replacement
A targeted steering rack rebuild kit or power steering repair kit is the right call when the issue is limited to worn-out parts, and the housing is sound. Kits replace the consumables that fail first and are far cheaper than a full rack swap.
Choose full steering rack belt replacement if the housing is damaged, the teeth are ruined, or the rack shows heavy corrosion or scoring. When in doubt, a bench inspection will reveal whether a kit or a replacement is the better investment.
What You’ll Find in Our Kits
Kits differ by application but commonly include O-rings, dust seals, sleeves, and small hardware. Bearing kits replace roller elements that feel rough. EPS belts are sold by exact length and tooth count and are matched to individual rack models.
Product pages list OE references and compatible models so you can confirm fitment. Most shop repairs combine a seal kit plus sleeves or bearings for a one‑visit fix.
How to Choose the Right Kit
Fitment comes first. Identify the rack type (EPS or hydraulic), the vehicle model, and ideally the OE number. If you lack OE info, measure the shaft diameter and note the bracket style before ordering a steering rack parts kit.
Match symptom to component: leaks → seal kit; play → bushing or bearing kit; whine or assist loss → steering rack belt or EPS components. Send your VIN and a photo if you want us to confirm the right kit for you.
Installation Overview and Shop Notes
Rack repairs require mechanical care. Typical steps include supporting the vehicle, disconnecting tie rods and lines, removing the rack, replacing wear items, reassembling, and road testing. Check for leaks and steering centering after refit.
For shops: keep common seal kits, sleeve packs, and a few EPS belt sizes in stock for faster turnaround. Using quality kits with clear dimensions produces repeatable repairs and fewer callbacks.
Ordering and Friendly Support
Use the brand filters to narrow options and check product titles for OE references and dimensions. Add parts to cart and confirm fitment before checkout. For quick fitment help, send VIN and a photo, and we will recommend the correct power steering rack repair kit, related components, and any extras you should order.
Small parts, correctly matched, restore steering feel and prevent larger repairs. If you want help choosing the right steering rack rebuild kit, Klifex will guide you to the parts that finish the job right.
