How to Service and Repair the Rack and Pinion Boot on Ford Escape?

Begin the service and repair of the rack and pinion boot by placing the boot cover to the side. Replacement of the rack and pinion boot requires a new nut because the original nut cannot be reused. The first step requires separation of the steering column shaft from the flexible coupling, then remove and discard the existing nut. After you have disconnected the steering column from the flexible coupling two times, work on removing the rack and pinion boot by unscrewing its nuts. The installation protocol for the new boot requires following steps in the opposite direction of removal.

Ford Rack and Pinion Boot

If you own Ford and want to keep it in top shape, choosing OEM Rack and Pinion Boot is a smart move. They are precisely engineered and follow strict factory standards. They are made in advanced facilities that use cutting edge technology. Each part goes through thorough testing to confirm strength and safety, so you can trust it. FordPartsDeal.com gives you genuine Ford Rack and Pinion Boot at some of the affordable online prices without cutting quality. Every OEM Ford part includes the manufacturer's warranty, easy returns, and super-fast delivery. So why wait? Shop now and get your vehicle back to peak condition.

Ford Rack and Pinion Boot keeps the steering rack pivot closed to keep the grit out of the steering rack and score away. Ford began with the ambitious factory of Henry in 1903 and then turned factory manufacturing upside down with the moving assembly line in 1913 that brought cars to families of middle income. Ford is currently dumping turbocharged EcoBoost under hoods, getting huge horsepower out of small engines and drinking less fuel, making road trips a bit less expensive to the wallet and feeling quicker. Ford equips SYNC voice technology into cabins, allowing drivers to yell songs or directions at a voice recognition system without touching their fingers, keeping their eyes on the road and their boredom to a minimum. Other Co-Pilot360 assistance features such as automatic braking and lane keeping alerts and battery powered F-150 Lightning trucks, which drag but release zero tailpipe fumes, further prove that the badge is embracing safety and electrification. Rack and Pinion Boot is a hard rubber sheath that slips over both ends of the steering rack, which bends with each turn but remains tight, thus the water, sand, and road salt cannot reach the precision gears that convert wheel input to motion. Rack and Pinion Boot cracks encourage dirt eating seals, spilling fluid, and it will not take long before the part is so loose or jerky that it needs replacement to maintain control. Compared to a complete exchange of the rack, Rack and Pinion Boot is inexpensive, comes in easy to install clamps, and once in place, the pinion and rack are silent, and the steering guts last many times longer.
