What Are the Crucial Steps to Follow When Repairing the Front Rack and Pinion in the Power Steering System on Mercury Sable?

Repairing power steering requires preventing foreign material from entering because this will lead to power steering component failure. The Hunter(R) 28-75-1 steering wheel holding device should be utilized first to maintain the wheel in a straight-ahead position. The hex-holding feature will keep the stud from turning as you remove the two tie-rod end nuts and disconnect the tie-rod ends from the wheel knuckles, install them at 115 Nm (85 lb-ft). The pressure line bracket-to-rack and pinion bolt requires removal before installation during which you should tighten it to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). New O-ring seals must be used during power steering line disconnects to avoid fluid leakage and both seals need proper installation placement. Extract the power steering line clamp plate bolt from its position to rotate the clamp plate while detaching the pressure and return lines from the rack and pinion then discard the two O-ring seals before torquing the clamp plate bolt to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft). When disconnecting the lower shaft keep the steering column shaft from rotating to protect the Clock Spring. Replacement of the Clock Spring is necessary when the shaft has rotated. Safely remove the steering column shaft-to-rack and pinion bolt then throw it away and replace it with a new bolt which needs torquing to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). During reinstallation you should secure the two new stabilizer bar link upper nuts to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft) while positioning the stabilizer bar and links in an upward direction. To install the roll resistor bracket-to-transaxle nut and bolt on Taurus and Sable All-Wheel Drive vehicles, follow the recommendation to tighten them to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft). Place a suitable jack under the roll resistor-to-transaxle bracket then lift the engine/transaxle approximately 25.4 mm (1 in) maintaining its distance from engine and transaxle components. Install new stabilizer bar bracket bolts on Taurus X vehicles while discarding the old ones and securely tighten them to 50 Nm (37 lb-ft). The last step includes rack and pinion removal through the left side of the vehicle where you should discard the nuts before securely fastening new ones to 117 Nm (86 lb-ft). After reversing the procedure install the system into power steering position while filling the system then check the toe alignment but only if necessary.
