If the smooth and controlled steering you are accustomed to has suddenly begun to require muscle, your Dodge Pickup steering rack may be the source of your trouble. If there is trouble brewing in the steering rack, it can be indicated by stiffness in the steering wheel, often most noticeable when the vehicle is cold. As the vehicle warms, the symptoms may subside but this is surely a temporary reprieve.

The symptoms are likely to become more frequent and aggressive as time passes. Another indication of trouble with the steering rack is whining or grinding noises as you turn the steering wheel, often most pronounced during slow speed maneuvers such as parking.

Generally, as the Dodge Pickup steering rack fails it will begin to lose power steering fluid, often leaking at the seals or boots. Such a leak can be difficult to detect, especially if it is a small one, as the fluid tends to collect in the boots at first, forming a tell tale puddle under the vehicle only after the boots have been filled to capacity and begin to overflow. Keeping track of the level of power steering fluid in the reservoir for a few days is often the best way to determine whether the steering rack is leaking its fluid away. If your steering rack has seen better days, it is wise to replace it before it fails completely, leaving you stranded with a vehicle that is difficult to control.
