rack

I recently replaced the power steering rack in my 2003 explorer sport Trac. I followed the steps in the shop manual but some things werent so obvious. 1. The steering shaft coupler bolt is reusable, it's a regular grade 10.9 bolt. 2. The rack mounting bushings won't let the rack slide through...

03 ST, 260k. Recently found the steering to be hard to turn at idle. Flushed the system and put in a reman pump. Helped a little. If it's over 1000 rpm, steers fine, under that it struggles. Ball joints, tie rod ends have been replaced and greased. Could this be a worn out rack and pinion?

So I am looking to get some sort of new roof rack or cross bars for my 96 XLT. With the current roof rails, I am having trouble finding the right set up. I know I need a certain type due to the kind of rail...but what is it? I'm a huge Ebay shopper. I couldn't find anything specific for the 2nd...

Hi all, Truck is a 2003 Explorer XLT 4.0 AWD I've been having some strange steering issues since about the middle of this year. Haven't had a lot of cash so haven't been able to do anything yet. It still drives well but to me the steering just feels super tight. I've driven our neighbors...

My roof rack water leak was repaired, but one of the plastic pieces that covers the bolts (?) is now loose (link to short video below). Seems like a plastic tab may be broken/missing. Any recommendations on a DIY repair, other than super glue? :) Going on a road trip this weekend and I'd...

Still looking for a way to remove the rails and have the holes in the roof plugged. Looked at the Ford Police Interceptors, the Utility version (obviously an Explorer). Most of the pictures of them do NOT have the rails standard. So, either they have figured out a way to fill in the holes, or...
