Hi
This Steering Rack Removal & Install thread came about in reponse to a new thread asking for tips on replacing starter motor.

The JTIS21 Jaguar shop repair manual says to remove the Steering Rack to gain access to the starting motor.

Here is the Steering Rack instructions and illustrations I extracted from the shop repair manual (I also included the parts description & illustration from the JEPC - Jaguar Electronic Parts Catalog):

XJ (X308) Steering Gear R&I 57.10.01.pdf

You will also need Steering Rack Bushing R&I (called in the Steering Rack R&I):

XJ (X308) Steering Gear Bushing R&I 57.10.30.pdf

and Power Steering System Bleeding & Filling:

and Front Toe Adjustment:

I started another thread for the Starting Motor R&I.

Many thanks JL.....nice post, thanks so much for sharing.

One of the mods will be along shortly to make this FAQ I'm sure!

 

Cool! Fortunately, I was able to change the starter without removing the steering rack. One of the bolts does kinda suck though. Thank goodness for my 1/2" half-moon wrench! The only time I have ever needed one, lol!

 

Thanks , I am going to add this post in the FAQ page right after this message
