Most these Sport Tracs require you to remove the outer tie rods ends. Then
turn the steering shaft all the way right remove the rack on the driver
side. Then turn the steering shaft all the way left and it comes out the
rear. No need to remove the torsion bar.

Why would anyone buy a Ford I will never know

psmith6689 says:

Thanks a lot man! Doing this on my 96 sport in a few days.

Jeremy Ryder says:

I have a question: What kind of impact wrench do you have? Great video. It
helped a lot.

skwid12 says:

is that a 5.0 litre v8?

Wade Speedy says:

Very Nice work. I did mine a little different but video helped slide my
rack out. Thanks keep the videos coming.

@MrRyderjeremy its a craftsman i love it, i cant think of the model off the
top of my head, however if you have a chance swing over to my website
toolsandtime. com join the free forum, i cover this in the tool thread.
there’s been allot of interest in it, thanks for the compliment

robinsonsauto says:

MROUTLAWG says:

SO I WAS DOING THIS TODAY.. N TOMORROSW, SAME VEHICLE JUST WITH V8. NOT
SURE IF THE V8 OIL PAN HANGS LOWER OR WHAT, BUT I HAVE NO ROOM TO FLIP RACK
WITHOUT IT CATCHING ON BOTTOM OF OIL PAN. SPENT 2 HOURS LITERALLY JUST
TRYING TO FLIP AND OR FIGURE OUT HOW TO FLIP. HITS OIL PAN NO MATTER WHAT.
SOLUTION BY CHANCE????

vettemania18 says:

What size wrench is the ps high pressure line?you didnt say. Right before
shifting the rack to passenger side to get it out?

BroncoBeast13 says:

Great video man 🙂 I’ma make one just like this soon probably, my explorers
leaking power steering from the drivers side inner tie rod so I’m either
going to replace the whole power steering or just swap that inner tie rid
for a new one 🙂

Rowland Anderson says:

Great videos!

robinsonsauto says:

bad seals, bad bushing. in this case the bushings were worn. causing the
outer right seal to fail. leaked fluid

Steven Proe says:

Great video, thanks for the info. on what size wrenches you were using or
going to be using nice touch. I have a Ranger pretty much the same unit.
Mine does not leak but seems harder to steer than my pre – 2001 Rangers.
Any ideas if that is the Rack or the Pump?? No leaks or obvious wear.
Thanks Steven

hey i just did this job today and guess who i was listening to… Santana 🙂

postewar says:

Tk you robinsonsauto! I used this video for a 2002 Ford Ranger 4×4, very
similar rack, very, tight fit in and out. Tip: watch for the inner tie rod
boots band crimp placement, the bottom of the rack is best for them because
there are holes drilled in the top of the cross member tunnel they will get
easily hung up in, and then you will get really get you peeved lol.
lifetime tire rotation, balance and alignment from a tire purchase 6yrs ago
took care of re-alignment adjustments, but I was close.

postewar says:

tire out of balance would cause most shake, unless its under braking only,
then its probably a warped brake rotor. could be bad ball joints. Any
excess play in the steering wheel r to l?

My group had to replace a rack-and-pinion on a 2003 Saturn Vue at our
Vocation School. Wow… We had to remove the whole exhaust piping and
Steering wheel before we could even reach it. Aside from all of the bs
though, the toughest part definitely had to be accessibility. I think we
spent 2 hours in all trying to put the power steering line back on, just
because of the simple fact that it was blocked by the frame of the car.
Whoever has to do this, good luck.

Yghhhnl

chronosun13 says:

would a bad steering rack cause the front-end shake?

GrandCaravanSE says:

I am going to hope and pray that the 5.0L is similar to the 4.0L….

robinsonsauto says:

@abbondanza23 it took me awhile to get the hang of the editing thing, its
getting easier. with that i hope it gets better as well, im happy for you
man, glad i could help out. the best part is you did it.

robinsonsauto says:

personally i am a Chevy man, but that’s just a matter of personal
preference, worked on many explorers, that’s manly due to fact there’s so
many of them out there, one of the best selling, so there must be a reason
for that, they have there problems but all and all i say there pretty good.
thanks for checking out my channel. hope that helped, will

hendrxson says:

my power steering line is leaking and auto zone says they dont have that
line but the kid seemed a little slow can i use brake line to replace it or
what?

Jeff Overman says:

how did you get the pinch bolt from the steering column and T45 hex bolt
and move the boot to get to it to allow to R&P to drop down so that it
could be removed?

robinsonsauto says:

your welcome glad i could help. sorry for the poor quality. i was just
starting out with this h YouTube thing back then. newer HD cam since.
