Rack Piston Balls: Inspection

Clean components using solvent, and blow dry. Inspect rack piston grooves for scoring. Inspect ball bearings for damage. If any ball bearings are damaged, replace entire set. Check ball guides for cracks or dented ends. Inspect rack piston teeth for chips, cracks, dents and scoring. If rack piston is damaged, replace rack piston and worm shaft as an assembly.
