today when I was trying to find out what was wrong with my power steering i noticed that one of plugs on the wiring harness wasn't plugged in and then found out and the sensor was missing

now would i need a whole new rack and pinion or could i just buy the sensor itself and install it?

The sensor is not sold as a part, so if it's gone it means a replacement rack......

Yep, just looked through the work shop manual, more or less says the same as Team said. How did you rip it out of the rack ? Do you have the under tray installed ?

First time I've heard of a sensor missing...............How'd you do that?

i didnt have a undertray installed some months ago while i was driving the ps light came on, not sure what happened but the sensor itself looks chewed up and deteriorated

looks like i'll be getting a whole new rack


if your wondering why i never bothered when it first went out, driving without power steering hasn't been a big issue with me unless im at a complete stop trying to parallel park
