My son just replaced the power steering pump and steering rack on my 95 explorer (2WD) - big job to say the least.
Is there a small flow orifice / check valve in the high pressure supply connection to the steering rack. We found it on the garage floor after removing the old rack. I believe the only place it could have come from was the old rack as we removed it. It appears to fit neatly in the orifice where the high pressure hydraulic hose screws in the rack.
The confusion is there is no mention of it in the Ford repair CD or Haynes manual we have. There was also no mention of it in the documentation that came with the rebuilt rack and pump. Does it really belong there? I would have thought that a new one would have been included with the new rack.
