Hey guys, I might have a possible solution to all of our steering wheel troubles. I found on another site from a mechanic with the same issues. His fix was to adjust the preload on the rack and pinion system. There is a large nut like washer on the front of the rack directly inline with the steering shaft. Tighten it down all the way and back it off a quarter turn. I've got an appointment tomorrow with the dealer to try it out. Anyone had luck with this or know what I'm talking about!?? It's worth a shot!!!!!!!

 

Could be worth it, i would like to find a steering stablizer first

 

There's a revised rack and pinion that already has a slightly tighter preload set between the rack and pinion gear for steering wheel nibble concerns.

 

tell me, in detail, how to complete the adjustment to the steering rack and pinion set-up. provide details and pics if possible. i will try it if someone will direct me.

 

And where do we get a wrench big enough for that nut?

 

This revised rack...do you have a part number on it or any type of information? Is ford aware of this new rack?

I don't have all the details yet, but as soon as they get it adjusted or look into it, I'll let you know how it turns out.
