How do you replace a rack and pinion on a 2006 dodge Dakota?

To replace the rack and pinion on a 2006 Dodge Dakota, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels for access. Disconnect the steering column from the rack, then remove the tie rod ends and any mounting bolts securing the rack to the vehicle's frame. Finally, detach the Power Steering lines, install the new rack and pinion, and reverse the disassembly steps, ensuring all connections are secure before lowering the vehicle and testing the steering system.
