Rack and pinion

[Kayvan]

So my mechanic diagnosted my car and I need a new rack and pinion, dealer part is 1500 but I can get this at autozone for $580 without active park assist. My question is does this work on my car if I don’t want the self park which doesn’t work anyway, it gives a fault error
Has anyone used the rack and pinion without active park assist on a 2011 limited 2wd ?

Have you had the Park Assist "fault" diagnosed? I had that on my 2011 shortly after I got it and turned out to be a faulty sensor. The only issue I can see with installing the rack and pinion without the active park assist would be that when you sell/trade it, the new owner would not be able to use that feature that came with the vehicle. Do you have a part number?

Although it could be a simple sensor fix, I dont care for not having a park assist now or later,
here is the part number from dealer quote for $1500 - bb5z3504k
and this is auto zone part number without park assist $591 - ER1001

autozone link shows this under vehicle fitment so I cant imagine all these cars have park assist, they are all 2011-2012 only

That part is $845.79 at this site; AutoNation Ford White Bear Lake | Parts & Accessories Also, keep in mind that the price you quoted is after you return the old part. You will have to pay $205 + $591.99 initially. Good luck.
