2001 Lesabre Rack-and-Pinion questionrw1644h 03-09-2009, 08:24 PM Replaced some front-end components at 112K. Struts, left and right tie-rod ends, rear shocks. CV-shaft on one side. I took notice of a clunking sound when stopped/in-gear and rocking the steering wheel back and forth. I'm wondering if this sounds like one of the following: 1. Rack-and-pinion mounting bushings 2. Rack-and-pinion unit 3. Inner tie rods 4. Other suggestions ? Thanks polarzak 03-10-2009, 06:55 AM I had the same problem with my Lucerne (replaced the LeSabre) and it was Item #2. The dealer first replaced the intermediate steering shaft, and then determined it was the rack & pinion unit. Mine was noisy when stopped either in gear or not. Anyway that fixed it in my case.. happydog500 03-10-2009, 06:05 PM I had the same problem with my Lucerne (replaced the LeSabre) and it was Item #2.

The car is still under warranty thank the gods. Today it goes in for two new struts (warranty again) Stay away from Lucernes, boys and girls. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
