In this video I show you how to diagnose and replace the all too common sticky steering shaft issue on these trucks. More often than not this concern is misdiagnosed as a binding rack or other…

Thanks for the vid.
Great info. Is there a lubricant you recommend to prevent it from binding
in the future.
Similar to what happens to town cars and crown vics upper shaft…
Thanks for the video,just learned a trick :)
Good Vid. This video proves its cheaper in most cases to have the car/truck
fixed at the dealer because they work on these all the time and have the
experience necessary to resolve the concern. Thanks for all the info!
very helpful, having this problem on an f150 2007 that I just bought. you
saved me a lot of time. thanks!
I have a 2006 F150 and the only way to get the wheels too turn is High
revs, I have no leaks and the reservoir is full, does this solution apply
to my problem as well?
nice vid BUT EXPEDITION owners verry tight fit for the bottom bolt must
line up just to the right of the oil filter also a air hammer is verry
helpfull to get the bottom off aslo tap the bottom in on the reinstall. the
way he shows the hammer effect is basicly impossible on the 2007 expedition
rent an air compressor and use an air hammer its a must! he is right about
doing the shaft i almost got a pump and never thought about the shaft
THANKS
Thanks , great video !!!!! You also have a talent in how you explain
things to the viewer . Keep up the good work!!
Question, would this cause a “clunking/knocking” noise as you rock the
steering wheel left and right, in short motion? If I have the engine off
and rock the wheel back and forth; you are really able to hear it. The best
video of the noise I’ve found is this one. Thanks for the videos and all
the information!!
05 f150 steering shaft / rack knock
I had an issue with the steering binding on my 2007 F150, I sprayed Kroil
on the upper and lower U-joints and turned the steering from side to side
as far as it would go and the binding issue disappeared completely.
Thanks for the video tutorial. Made doing the job simple with one
exception. Instead of 8 or 9 pumps on the steering shaft to get the lower
part off I had to do around 80. Then I had to go to the bottom side and I
used a panel puller and a hammer. The panel puller gave me just the right
angle to get at the underside of the joint so I could use a hammer. Now it
is all cleaned up and I am waiting for new shaft to get here. Will update
when complete.. again thank you.
Just replaced the steering shaft in my 2003 Expedition. This video helped
me to diagnose the problem and fix it. Saved a boat load of money. Thanks!
i’ve seen this on 2003 explorer’s as well, my sisters boyfriends just
bought one with a 4.6 in it(rod knock or cam phaser i havnt diagnoised it
yet covered in snow) same issues
Can this happen on a 1999 F150 two wheel drive ? It sure seems like thats
whats going on? Does anyone know?
I just use the seat belt for the wheel.
