Electric Power Steering FIXED- READ FOR SOLUTION

[BryceFL]

I have a 2016 ram 1500 with electric power steering. 3 Mechanics quoted me at $3000+ to replace the whole rack… Didn’t do it. Theres a belt inside of the rack, it was snapped in half. None of the mechanics I talked to knew there was a belt inside this thing. The belt is only 50$. Please check your belt before replacing the whole rack unless you want to chop up atleast a thousand $$$.

What else is needed when changing the belt?
How hard is the job?

Found another guy on facebook who was quoted several thousand to fix his rack,and i told him to check the $50 belt out,and that's turned out to also be his problem.He says he'll make a video of replacing it when he gets the belt,hopefully he also posts it here,as i sent him a link to this thread.

OMG!!!

What a joke.

I changed my power steering fluid once a year. Happy to do it seeing this. Ill take a pump and hydro steering any day.
