Hey Acura MDX owners (2003-2006 models)! If your steering feels loose, you hear clunks, or it's just not right, this PHILTOP steering rack and pinion could be the fix. It's a direct replacement for OEM part numbers 26-2722, 53010S3VA01, 53010S3VA02, and others. This is a complete power steering gear assembly – it includes the inner tie rods, so you get everything you need in one box. Key specs: the rack length is about 43.86 inches, input shaft is 0.68 inches in diameter, and it uses M16 x 1.5 threads for the pressure and return lines. It's built with high-strength alloy steel gears machined on CNC equipment for precision, which helps make steering stable and reduces noise and vibration. Installation is designed to be straightforward – it's a plug-and-play swap, so no modification or drilling should be needed. They say it's been tested for shock, abrasion, and fatigue, and it comes with a 12-month unlimited mileage warranty. Always double-check fitment for your specific year, make, model, and trim before ordering, but for a 2003-2006 MDX, this should get your steering back to feeling tight and safe.
