Description
Product Overview
This is a used, ex-Japan steering rack & pinion assembly designed for the Nissan Sunny B15. The steering rack is a core component of the vehicle’s steering system, responsible for converting the rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear motion that turns the wheels.
Offered at approximately 10,000 KES ex-Japan, this unit provides an affordable replacement option for worn, leaking, or damaged steering racks.
Importance of the Steering Rack
The steering rack is one of the most critical safety and control components in your vehicle. Its importance includes:
-
Vehicle Control & Safety: It directly controls wheel direction. A faulty rack can cause loose steering, vibration, uneven tire wear, or complete steering failure.
-
Driving Stability: Ensures smooth directional control at high speeds and stable cornering.
-
Comfort: Works together with the power steering system to provide light, smooth steering—especially important during parking or city driving.
-
Tyre & Suspension Protection: A properly functioning rack prevents abnormal tyre wear and reduces stress on suspension components.
Condition
-
Used (Ex-Japan): Removed from a Japanese-market vehicle.
-
Structurally intact: No major cracks or breakage (subject to inspection).
-
Normal wear expected: May show minor surface rust, grease marks, or aging rubber boots.
-
Recommended check: Always inspect seals, boots, tie rods, and check for internal play or fluid leaks before installation.
Compatibility
-
Specifically designed for Nissan Sunny B15 models (1998–2005).
-
Compatible with Right-Hand Drive (RHD) configurations commonly imported from Japan.

Performance
-
Rack & pinion system delivers responsive and accurate steering feel.
-
Supports smooth steering input when paired with a functioning power steering pump.
