Power Steering Motor Replacement

[AlexO]

This may be a bit of an unusual question but maybe somebody here can help.

I need to replace my steering rack after the housing cracked in an accident. The EPS motor is intact and functional.
I bought a used OEM steering rack and am wondering if I can bolt my original motor onto the new rack.

My thinking is that if I keep the original motor, there won't be a need to program the ECU to the car.
Of course I'll still need to calibrate the neutral position and sensors but I can do that with my Autel.

It looks like it should be a simple swap but wondering if anyone here has dealt with anything like this?

Thank You

Since you wouldn't be replacing the EPS motor/control unit as far as your car's ECU is concerned these post installation steps seem to suggest you won't need to do the first two steps listed.

Though, I would replace the O-ring (Part Number: 53106-S0A-003) and make sure you follow this lubricant specification.

Thank you for this info. Looks like replacing the motor should be no problem.

I called a couple dealers and the O-ring is back ordered with no ETA, unfortunately.
