You have the best repair videos it’s real life scenarios, man this is so cool Many of the other videos do say that it’s a 21 and a 24 Ford’s big on that. I’ve just noticed that there’s a lot of combination situations doing the suspension.
I just bought a 2004 Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4L. This job looks fun. I like getting deep into things like this my wife and kids love it to because when I get frustrated I say the most hilarious stuff apparently. But the fact you did it without super useful tools and the basics really eased my mind about it. Thanks for Info and video!!
I’m doing mine now and boy do I wish I made a run to Home Depot for that 1/2 Impact before getting started! A lot of hard to get to nuts and bolts especially when needing to use a breaker bar. I think your family is in for a treat ! Goodluck
@@TitoTellsTheTruth you ain't wrong brother lol they filmed a video of me doing the job 🤣 hope to get it posted soon. All I can say is the 1/2 impact is a time saver for sure!
Went in for an alignment with my 2005 F-150 5.4L 3v and noticed my rack had a leak. Nothing major as I’ve never noticed the fluid loss... my guess is an O-ring failure. But I could be wrong. I do have too much play in my steering wheel, so I’m going to just replace the rack and pinion. Already replaced the power steering pump... that was fun. Truck has 139k miles, so it’s time for a replacement anyways. Thanks for the video
I have the same exact truck except it’s a 2008. I run a plow on mine also. I just did this exact same repair today. 18mm Crow foot definitely a must to install high pressure line. When removing it from pump just take off oil filter and cut the line with a die grinder cut off wheel and zip off with 18mm deep well socket. Love your stuff. Super helpful content. Time to do the string alignment tomorrow till I can get it to my buddy’s shop to do a full blown alignment.
Back in the old days we didn't have rack and pinion. It was a whole different system called recirculating ball steering. Recirculating ball steering goes back before power steering. This is why old cars, trucks, buses, commercial trucks, and tractors had such a large steering wheel.
Thank you for filming this. I have to replace mine, and this will be very helpful. I have no idea how you managed to film it, and light the areas so well - kudo's to you! Thumbs up and subscribed.
Nice video I like the fact of you doing it with our fancy tools like others , is long video but is worth it because always is going to be something unexpected 👍👍👍
I just did mine I also bout it from Detroit axles and I have a problem we’re I go on highway speed the wheel doesn’t stiffen/ stabilize like the oem one did any idea way ?
Can you be more specific? Did you check the alignment after installation? Did you check your other suspension components? How are your tires? Did you have your wheels balanced within the past year? Could be any of the above causing your issue.
I didn't, completely optional, but recommended to do so after the install. That way if any crud enters the system, it can flush itself out after you are complete.
I'm doing a rack on a 2004 Lincoln navigator, which I believe is fairly similar, can you slide the the rack out the passenger side? I have to do it in the garage also that day because it's going to be raining, and I have a bunch of stuff in there, so I was just curious...
Any tips on getting the pressure sensor switch removed? I have a locked in my vice been working on it for 20 minutes. I'm about to take heat to it. But I'm not sure if I can damage anything other than the O-ring. Which I have a new one. Yes I'm using PB Blaster. Thanks
@@OldSoulMillennial .Vice and a 5lb hammer worked! 😆 Now just need to do my tie rods. Also on my 2006 5.4, I had to put the Steering knuckle in 1st before the driver side bracket. No play whatsoever.
If im just replacing the rack and pinion and no lines do I need to disconnect the hose connected to the cooler/radiator? Also how has the detroit axle rack hold up? I got the same one I heard bad things about them but hopefully I got a good unit. Thanks man
I am doing one today because the return line ruptured and is absolutely seized in the rack. I told him since I have to remove the rack to attempt to get out the stuck line, It doesn't make sense to put back a 15 year old rack. i also bought a new one from Detroit axle. I have used a few of them with no returns. The pressure hose was previously replaced so it was in good shape and so is the cooler. I have seen those rust out as well.
So is the only reason you don’t like Detroit axle is because of the fact that they covered their stuff and oil so it does not corrode while it’s sitting on shelves? Other than that, how is it performing? I too am going to have to do this on my own truck here pretty soon.
Needing to buy the rack and pinion saw one on Ebay same seller that bought from Detroit axle, has the rack and pinion failed since you have bought it ?
Great job with the angles, I could make sense of where everything is easily. I'm wondering if that power steering hose you used on the low pressure cooler line was indeed 3/8"? You sounded unsure in the video. I have a leak there and want to avoid buying the formed line if I can. Thanks!
@@OldSoulMillennial it’s ridiculous ... Ford shoulda had a recall on this ... my truck just hit 150k and locking the wheel all the way to the right it binds ... I suspected maybe some debris cause I just changed the pump and all the lines this past winter ... never in my life have a heard of a rack and pinion going that soon ! Horrible design !
27:39 -I pushed the pressure hose onto the brass fitting also. I think the point of the fitting being separate is - your supposed to tighten the fitting to the power steering pump then install PS pump. Then push the hose end into the fitting locking it in.
what was the mileage on your truck when you had to change it? how has the detroit rack been ? I bought wheel hubs for my f150 from them and they been fine
One rack comes with a seal kit and one comes without? Seems like the seals would be included. This is for an 04 F150 FX4 4wd. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! The whole reason I'm replacing this damn thing is that the pressure line was difficult to get to from the pump---as you may know. So I had to remove the other end of it, on the rack. And it was rusted all to hell just like yours. It's seized in there, the pipe/line is broke off and it's just the fitting. Just enough to barely get a vise grip on but it keeps slipping off. I made some progress with a pry bar, but obvously all I'm doing is knocking it side to side and probably damaging the inside where the o ring pops in. So fuck it, new rack.
@@OldSoulMillennial..If your in a pinch, you can cut a old 18mm 🔧 down. I'm going to drop mine today and replace it along with the lines. Yeah Fun, can't wait to start! Obviously I'm on U-tube lol. Also, removal of the serpentine belt and oil filter will make it a lot more easier. For the amount of time it takes to remove the belt, and the minimal loss of oil makes it way easier
I waste a lot of trips to harbor freight myself! It’s a pain when I’m trying to fix my truck in a day but it’s always a good excuse for the wife to go waste money on tools!
Do you know the mans of the hoses? I need to replace my pump n rack n drain the reservoir. I have everything just been looking for the hoses so i can do it
@@jarenherbert506 Ive bought spider and planetary gears for my rear differential form detroit axle and my new rack. Ive had great success with their parts. No complaints!
Mine was loose too. It doesn't seem right but since I installed my new Rack, I haven't lost a drop of power steering fluid. Id keep an eye on it, if it leaks contact the manufacturer
The return line is captured by a clamp plate that is part of the pressure hose and is bolted to the gear. The return line has an o-ring in a groove that seals in the bore in the gear housing. It may rotate once the clamp plate bolt is tight, but it should seal.
Not nearly enough swearing, everyone knows the more you swear at it the better the job. I did have to chuckle at the running to tsc for the 24mm socket only to have it be a different size. I have done that more times than I care to admit.
Please be careful with those vaccum lines if anyone is looking at this video for help..... vaccum lines are fragile as hell and become an absolute mess with trying to find a vaccum leak
ford could have spent one dollar and made these lines out of copper when the truck was new or coat the steel, Don't buy a Ford this is just the tip of the iceberg, and 13 MPG total JUNK. Go electric way better.
I was just going to buy a truck needed the r and steering joints 2 pass a saftey i was going to do it myself. I've worked in shops screw this job it really looks like it sucks going to ask tomorrow for them 2 do it the rack alone is $ 800 bucks then if u snap a pressure line maybe tie rod joints are a ! grrrrrrrrsaid he would a 1000 off mm maybe
I disagree with your method of taking the outer tie rods off sorry but hitting the top of it will mushroom it and mess the thread up I prefer using the tie rod specific fork for the job
he had new tie rods, who cares about the threads, and why would you waste time using a fork when you can rap the knuckle with a big hammer ( which he also did)?
you will never be satisfied with detroit axle, scammy crummy company that takes forever to ship. but so much cheaper than part store so i basically have to use them
I wasn’t really trying to be insulting, I was frustrated at the time and looking for a simple straight forward video on the subject. It wasn’t just yours, it was every single video. To a degree it feels like it’s more about the person performing in the video vs attention to the specific job. It’s a whole lot of information and advise that I wasn’t looking for. I just wanted to see someone take off and reinstall a new steering rack. So sorry if you feel insulted to the point you need to suggest that I’m ignorant. I’m not grateful the video exist, it was too bloated and not interesting. I get it tho, I like hearing myself talk as much as the next old soul. Even if it is just mostly pointless points the take up space and make my comment seem longer.
“insults are the lowest form of expressing a disagreement. They do not contain rationality or argument, but rather slam the door on understanding and end any possibility of dialogue. Insulting is both the expression of an inability to maintain self-control and the absence of valid reasons with which to dismantle the other’s speech”
Didn't or shouldn't have to cut that line, it should pull out once the bracket is off the other line. He replaced his, so it didn't really matter. Other than that 👍🏾
Edit: FYI to all doing this replacement of the rack and pinion....the 10mm bolt on the universal joint is a bitch to get too. He doesn't show how difficult it actually is but it's a pain in the ass. Edit: At the front of your truck under the grill in the opening between your fog lights on the driver side you'll see a small 1" hole. Turn your steering wheel until you can see the bolt way in there. You'll need about 3 and a half feet of extensions with your 10mm socket. Easiest way to get the universal joint freed up.

Ended up taking out the rack and pinion to replace a seized and leaking power steering line, very helpful video!
Same here sir. What a pain. I couldn't get the pressure hose off of the pump, so had to get it off at the rack and it was seized even worse there.
I have to do this job Monday and am whining about it untill I watched you do this on the ground. I complain no more. Nice video
Best video on TH-cam how to do this thank u and I do the same with nut and bolt lol

whats the mileage on your truck?
Do you happen to know if this is the same procedure for the 4.2L 2WD model?
I do not know, but sometime you just have to figure it out as you go along. 2wd should actually be easier than the 4wd.
thanks for the Video hey! getting ready to do this to mine.
Thanks dude, u helped me out a bunch!
about to replace mine tomm.I did it once before.cant remember if i need to flush out old fluid or not before hand?
I didn't, completely optional, but recommended to do so after the install. That way if any crud enters the system, it can flush itself out after you are complete.
Did that return line steering hose come out of the rack and pinion?? The old parts u were taking off in the beginning
mine isnt coming out so thinking replace the rack
I’m having the same issue with the return line being loose and it is leaking power steering fluid. Did you manage to tighten it better?

Do you have to unhook the steering knuckle if so I've got 3 more bolts to remove the two vertical bolts and the steering rod/knuckle bolt
Yup he left that out. There are 10mm
Fantastic. Thanks good sir.
To everyone who wants to save themselves hours of headaches in the future: buy yourself a good set of ratcheting wrenches. You're welcome.

I wonder if you just removed the 2 horizontal bolts and just took the rack out with both brackets.
not to bad, ill have to give it a shot on mying.
there is a stud on the top of the bolt to keep it from spinning all you have to do is hold it down with your finger and use an impact
Did you have to bleed the whole sistem?
I believe the power steering system is self bleeding
You can use a semi-deepwell 21mm socket instead of taking the wheels off.
Just an fyi its not power steering coating ur new rack its called assembly lube used to prevent surface rust during packaging and shipping!

150k

What are the names of all the hoses and lines? I'm replacing all the lines the rack and pump.
why does this not mention anything about the clock spring? i thought it had to be held in place on this model?
The tie rods are different if the 11th digit of your VIN number is a C. They are identical if it's any other letter.

I have a very bad power steering leak, I hope this isn't what's wrong with mine. My leak is very steady coming from the front part of the truck.
Where was your leak? Trying to figure mine out.
What tool where required to do this ?
Basic set of wrenches, sockets, hand tools, pry bar, breaker bar, And crows feet are extremely helpful for power steering lines
Thanks Dude
just an fyi..those 24mm bolts are a captured bolt...you do not need to have a wrench on the top just spin it off with an impact gun.
fyi-the capturing tab bends and becomes useless 2 seconds after you hit it with an impact lol Comes right off with the plasma cutter though.

Leave the nut on to pound out of the knuckle, saves the threads.
did the new rack have that same knock when you rock the wheel back and forth?
Most of it (80%), Im almost certain that the other 20% of play is coming from the steering shaft.
Couldn’t take any more commercial breaks
They don’t reman tie ends! Just make them different depending on manufactured
Yeah don’t quote me either but I think it’s the same for 04-14
