    Thanks for these Crown Vic tutorials - do keep them coming! There are somehow a lack of tutorial videos, on TH-cam, for random procedures like this one. I think yours is the first quality video that shows how to remove a Crown Vic's steering shaft from start to finish.

    I have a crown Vic and I would love it if you post everything you do on a Vic so I don't have to pay for someone else to do it. These videos help a ton. Please post all your operation on crown vics

    I just did this. Replace the upper steering shaft and bearing also. The u joint in the upper steering shaft was worse and the bearing was dry. Even in this video the upper shaft I can see has excessive play when he tries to install the new lower shaft. The upper shaft is also a falure point. Use Motorcraft parts and get new bolts!!

    Good video. Might be helpful to take the air cleaner off and you should also replace the intermediate shaft and bearing as well.

    Should the new shaft wobble around in the fire wall hole? I tightened everything down and it drives ok and the inside has the bearing tightened down

    You said something at 2:53 that struck a question in my head. When I drive my marauder the steering wheel tends to wander. It's hard to keep straight. I've changed EVERYTHING THAT DEALS WITH SUSPENSION FRONT TO BACK. Still have the wandering issue. But now from what you said at 2:53 I wonder if I replace the steering shaft and didn't put it back like i exactly took it out and now the steering wheel is wandering

    Why’s it need an alignment when all you did was replace the shaft? Does it call for an alignment?

      My thoughts too, he didn't touch the tie rods or control arms and the tires do not have abnormal wear.

  • @jasonyoung4890

    What symptoms should I be looking for to determine this is the issue? My car moves all over the road but it also has a lot of oversteering going on and also when I turn a corner the steering wheel won't correct itself, I have to manually correct it

    • @sethledger6309
      @sethledger6309 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is happening to me right now. I sprayed grease on the lower shaft and it steers perfect and returns now. So check that.

  • @dskap201

    Thanks for this video.
    Whenever i slow down to a light and the road is bumpy the steering wheel will pull to one side or another...mostly to the right.
    I have replaced the entire front end..ball joints, calipers, rotors, stabilizer bars, rack and pinion, upper and lower control arms, and it still does it.
    Brand new tires, alignment...I just can't figure out what is causing this to pull.
    Could this steering knuckle / shaft be the issue do you think?
    Thanks so much for any reply you may give!

    I replaced this and now my power steering pump seems to groan. Does that mean I installed incorrectly?

    Couple of things, That particular steering shaft is used on 03 and up, The first time I watched this video I thought to myself "why use the seat belt?, just take the key out that will lock the steering wheel" nope it does not, And I still don't know why i doesn't. I had the lower end of the steering shaft off (for something else I was doing) But I could not feel any stiff spots in the joints, I'm thinking that I have a bad strut bearing binding up on me. Dooh, never mind, Just remembered that my struts do not spin.

      since it did spin, if you don’t know how many times, it mIt. BhUv Ur wallet to center clockspring - it’s a simple yet pAn in thE S job. mOst important is to detach batRE for at lEst 1/2 hr OR Dtach both termNLz & touch them together for at lEst 15 secNds..
