I bought that kit and I’m trying to rebuild the rack and pinion and there is a plastic piece on the bottom of the input shaft and it has 4 notches on it anyone know how to get this off?

I had luck on rockauto to find one for my truck. Also Quality Replacement Parts | Find Used Auto Parts | Online Locator has been good for me.

Anyone know of a diff drop bracket or anything else?

Any update?

Does anyone know if brand matters?

I have a gen 2 sporttrac and I see fluid coming from around the boots, a lot. I see on rock auto there is a seal kit for it and I was wondering if it is what I’m hoping to be the problem and how difficult it would be if it is the right part

I was thinking of changing my rear diff to royal purple 75w190 and looking on amazon it says does not fit your vehicle. Anyone know why that may be. Correct vehicle selected and correct options selected. Also I see different labels of the motorcraft friction modifier xl-3 is that the correct...

Check inner and outer tie tie rods and wheel bearings also. I found pre packaged struts were easy to do.

Now on test drive it looks like the axles...

Thank you Todd. Also the power steering reservoir dorman part number 603849 that I got from Napa which lead to their part number noe:60503821 is identical to what my second gen sport trac has. It is listed as a mustang power steering reservoir and I haven’t seen a listing for a sport trac...

I am replacing everything in the power steering unit except the pump ( just replaced 2 years ago) but everything hoses, rack, and reservoir and getting replaced. I was wondering since everything else is going to be new if I still had to run mercon v or if I could run some new/different thru to...

Ty. I’ll see if I can find it and clean it
