    rack and pinion bushings, how to press out?

    Steering assist weak at idle

    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?

I have a 98 explorer sport, and i found a great deal on some 4.10 gears out of a 2001 ranger, but i know the ranger 8.8's are only 28 spline, so my question is, will they work in my explorer?

    Cost to fix rear diff whine

    Has anyone had any luck getting the rear diff whine fixed for less than $1200? I had a wheel bearing replaced, that didn't work. Also, put the synthetic oil in and that didn't work. Any other ideas? I can live with it if it costs $1200 for the ring & pinion, but wasn't sure if there were...
