A Mercedes Sprinter steering rack is a component in the vehicle's steering system that helps to convert the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion needed to turn the wheels. Specifically, it connects the steering column to the front wheels via tie rods and allows for precise control and maneuverability of the vehicle. The steering rack is an essential part of the overall steering system, which ensures safe and effective operation of the vehicle.
Signs of a Faulty Mercedes Sprinter Steering Rack
Some common signs of a faulty Mercedes Sprinter steering rack include:
- Difficulty turning the steering wheel: If you find it hard to turn the steering wheel, it could mean that the steering rack is not functioning correctly.
- Unusual noises: If you hear unusual noises, such as knocking or clunking sounds, when turning the steering wheel, it may indicate problems with the steering rack.
- Uneven tire wear: You may notice that your tires are wearing unevenly which can be caused by a problem with the steering rack.

The lifespan of a Mercedes Sprinter steering rack can vary depending on usage and maintenance. However, in general, a steering rack can last between 100,000 to 150,000 miles.

Testing Your Mercedes Sprinter Steering Rack
Here are the steps for testing a Mercedes Sprinter steering rack:
- Park the vehicle on a flat surface and turn off the engine.
- Raise the front end of the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
- Locate the steering rack assembly, which is typically located on the driver's side of the vehicle.
- Inspect the steering rack for any signs of damage or leaks. Look for cracks or dents in the housing and check for any fluid leaks around the fittings or seals.
- Check the steering rack for excessive play or looseness. This can be done by moving the steering wheel back and forth while observing the movement of the steering rack.
- Check the tie rod ends for wear or damage. This can be done by inspecting the rubber boots for cracks or tears and checking for any looseness or play in the joints.
- Inspect the power steering pump and hoses for leaks or damage.
- Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock. Listen for any unusual noises such as clicking, whining, or grinding.
- Check the power steering fluid level and condition. The fluid should be at the proper level and should be clean and clear.
- Perform a road test to check the steering response and stability of the vehicle. Pay attention to any vibrations, pulls, or wandering of the vehicle while driving.
- If any problems are found during the inspection, repair or replace the faulty components as necessary.
