I had a strange issue with the power steering rack in my 2012 Honda Odyssey. It would ‘rattle’ in the steering column when going over bumps. I suspected a damaged power steering rack was the cause. The van had been in a collision before I purchased it and I think this is where the damage might have occurred.

This video is a step by step, fastener by fastener, account of how to replace a power steering rack in one of these Odysseys. I also cover inner tie rod replacement, rear engine mount removal, and bleeding the power steering system when you’re done with the work.

I hope you find the info helpful and entertaining!
