Mercedes-Benz steering rack prices vary depending on the model, type of steering system, choice of original parts vs. replacements, etc. Typically, Mercedes-Benz steering rack prices range from $600 to $2,500, and additional expenses such as installation costs, other parts costs, and four-wheel alignment need to be considered during the replacement process.

Use a funnel to slowly pour the appropriate amount of power steering stop-leak fluid into the reservoir. Usually, the stop-leak fluid will start to work after mixing with the existing power steering fluid. Be careful not to pour too much stop-leak fluid to prevent the fluid level in the power steering rack from being too high.

The hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic power steering systems must have specific properties to ensure smooth operation and long life of the system. Hydraulic fluids are mainly divided into the following types: 1. Mineral Oil 2. Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid 3. Semi-Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid 4. Specialty Hydraulic Fluids

Replacing the power steering rack is a technically demanding project involving multiple steps and details, requiring professional equipment and experienced technicians. The first step in replacing a power steering rack is to remove the steering system components. This includes removing the steering column, steering wheel, steering linkage, and power steering pump.

Electric power steering system (EPS) is one of the most commonly used steering system types in the world. Unlike traditional hydraulic power steering system, electric power steering system directly provides steering assistance through electric motor.

Mercedes-Benz uses EPS in many of its models, especially in more economical car series such as the A-Class and B-Class, where electric power steering is more commonly used. At the same time, high-end models such as the E-Class and S-Class are gradually transitioning to EPS to improve fuel efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.

Continuously adding new fluid to delay repairs will cause car owners to ignore the seriousness of the problem. Once the hydraulic fluid in the power steering system is completely exhausted, the driver may suddenly lose steering assistance, especially when driving at low speeds, and the steering will become extremely heavy, making driving more difficult and dangerous.

General Motors has used hydraulic power steering technology on many classic models, such as Chevrolet, Cadillac and other brands, but General Motors has gradually applied electric power steering technology to many of its models since around 2010.

The electric power steering system has: Electrical failure Motor failure Electronic control unit (ECU) failure Sensor failure Mechanical failure Environmental factors Improper maintenance

When the driver turns the steering wheel, the steering shaft is connected to the rack through the gear. The turning force applied by the driver is transmitted to the rack through the gear, which then pushes the rack to move along the axial direction. The movement of the rack drives the steering connection components, which in turn causes the wheels to turn.
