steering column

First is a small (maybe 1/4") amount of in/out steering wheel play. As in, I can pull the steering wheel toward my chest and push it back toward the steering column. There is no play in any other direction, or when turning the wheel. Also, on occasion, the steering wheel would slip a little...

The power adjustable pedals and steering column recently stopped working in my 2016 Explorer Limited. All other interior creature comfort items (seats, mirrors, lumbar, Sync, steering wheel controls, displays, etc.) are operating normally. I have not had any recent maintenance performed on the...

Hello everyone. I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 with a 4.0. I have about 180k miles on it. I love the truck and finally I am doing some much needed maintenance on it. I have two things I hope to get some opinions on. The first one is easy and more opinion based. What shocks have...

Hi guys, I'm newly registered but have been coming here for a while now. So a little while ago my shift lever broke off in my hand. I've already read about that here and see its happened to a few others. I've already ordered the part and seem to be doing just fine manually pulling and...

My gf has a 1998 ford explorer. it seems like i have to drop the steering column weekly because she loses the ability to shift into reverse. There is a star bolt on bottom, back end of the colum that i have to tighten by laying on my back and reaching up. Has anyone ever dealt with this before...

Hi everyone.:salute: I am a new member. I have a 1997 XLT which has been chugging along nicely with very little technical complaint. I was wondering, my turn signals, right and left, will flash about 3 times when switched on, then the flashing stops before I make the turn. If I switch them...

A few weeks ago my Ranger's headlights started not coming on when I switched them on. The high beams won't come on either but when I flash them they do. If I flash the high beams repeatedly the headlights tend to come on, eventually. Any ideas on what the problem is? I'm thinking its a short or...
