[@eljefetx]

DUDE!! You are awesome! Popped that housing and that belt was shredded. Great instructions. This really is a simple fix for the average mechanic. Thank you so much!

[@cogamble29102]

Exactly what was wrong with mine. Mechanic told me it was the rack and pinion. $58 belt on Amazon versus about $2000 in used parts and labor. Thanks bud. Owe you a beer or twenty!!

[@jankosgarage]

Glad I could help!

[@suckit0007]

Bro send a 24 pack atleast

[@beliezer2067]

Exact same issue I have I just got the belt. Dude seriously thank you so much for this video. Saved me big time !

[@nxtrelay2670]

Was it just throwing up the code? Or was it actually hard to steer/ect?

[@mindofnobility7554]

Steering locked up with the code! ​@@nxtrelay2670

[@TimothyRyan-f5q]

you saved me a lot of $$, it was tricky getting the pulley back on, persitence payed off!!

[@blakejones8175]

Hey man just wanna say this video was amazing and was exactly what was wrong with my truck. Thank you for the post

[@jankosgarage]

Hell yes glad it helped!

[@corinnelaking569]

Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this how to video!😎

[@strong_like_thor3581]

I’ll be inspecting mine tonight. Randomly started having popping and binding in my rack this morning.

[@jankosgarage]

Try oiling your ujoints in steering shaft first.

[@joshuamartinof7523]

Is it low speed turning the steering wheel making popping clicking sounds and you can feel it in the steering wheel if so how did u fix it ?

[@strong_like_thor3581]

@@joshuamartinof7523 it was at all speeds. I replaced the belt, blew it in 3 weeks. Replaced it again with a different version and it has been good since. Make sure you get it tight enough or it’ll slip.

[@elYoko337]

This video just saved me some $$$. This happened to my sons used truck. I could tell right away when I looked at the cv boot clamp that someone had been in there before. Belt was fried!

[@jankosgarage]

Good deal, glad it helped you out

[@Finaltouchone1]

A.I. is doing better at hiding videos from people who are looking for great fixes like this. Looks like your vid slipped through the cracks. Great vid.

[@MACHOCAMACHO13]

Thank you ordering a belt tomm and gonna attach it when it comes in just lost power steering today

[@jankosgarage]

@@MACHOCAMACHO13 hope it works for you

[@MACHOCAMACHO13]

@jankosgarage thanks will keep you posted I can hear the motor still turning when I turn

[@klanglala7577]

That’s a beautiful truck!

[@mjm1330]

My 15 locked up yesterday with a bunch of codes "steering assist fault " once the new belt is on, do they need to be cleared ? Thanks

[@gavinmorris5525]

Did you have to reprogram anything after this? As long as you dont move the gears or steering wheel it'd be fine right?

[@JesusRosas-m7d]

Hey man, first of all thanks a lot for this video mine has the same issue I’m at the part to put everything back on but the scary part is the tensioner does the belt has to be super tight ?

[@jankosgarage]

Yes get it pretty tighg

[@JoshuaBurleson-kp4hm]

Can I replace the belt without removing the inner tie rod? If I stretch the belt and remove the smaller outer boot clamp?

[@jankosgarage]

@@JoshuaBurleson-kp4hm yeah it should slide over without stretching

[@Minnesotafatcat]

By any chance, before you lost all power steering, did you hear a whining sound while driving like in the older models. I've noticed my starts to whine after the power steering fluid is hot and at highway speeds in long curves. Though it was wheel bearings , it's not it. Tested the vacuum lines, and those are good too. Thanks for the video in advance. This will be my next option.

[@jankosgarage]

What year is yours?

[@Minnesotafatcat]

@@jankosgarage 2016 xtr 4x4.

[@jankosgarage]

@@Minnesotafatcat these do not have any hydraulic fluid, there is also no pump to whine. Sounds like you may have a bad wheel bearing depending on which way your turning and it begins to whine.

[@Minnesotafatcat]

@jankosgarage I thought so too. Bearings are good. Nothing loose. Maybe it all in my head...lol. I'll keep you posted when I take the tie rod out and have a look. Thanks man!

[@jankosgarage]

@@Minnesotafatcat should be able to uncrew the cap and slid the boot over without taking the tie rod off.

[@erranmayfield7031]

Did you have any other errors mine is showing power steering assist failure and collision avoidance. This came up right after replacing the hub assemblies.

[@jankosgarage]

@@erranmayfield7031 sounds like a bad wheel speed sensor

[@ComeOnMan81]

Did you have abs downhill decent lights on

[@jankosgarage]

Yes

[@javiercoronadojr9224]

Hey man question I just got a light on my truck this morning, I haven’t noticed any pops or bangs, but just got the light today could the belt be going back that why the sensors is going off or how so? Thank you if you respond

[@jankosgarage]

@@javiercoronadojr9224 no idea man but its easy to check

[@nesthorcastro7985]

What’s the part number or name of this belt? Cuz this exact thing just happened to me

[@jankosgarage]

@@nesthorcastro7985 just look on ebay

[@jessepotter6700]

my has the same problem. Got my rack replaced and it worked for a week then stopped working. took it back for them to recalibrate it and it worked again and about 5 days later stopped again. Not sure what to do now

[@jankosgarage]

Id pull cover off and check the belt.

[@CraigBengtson]

How did you get the belt on? There is no flex in the belt and it is proving difficult to do?

[@jankosgarage]

@@CraigBengtson lt shows in video

[@CraigBengtson]

@@jankosgarage we were shipped the wrong belt in the right packaging. Edelman found out and overnighted a correct one.

[@alfredoramirezhipolito6530]

Good morning brother do the 2013 ford f150 platinum have the belt or is it the steering angle sensor that go bad when the steering gets hard?

[@jankosgarage]

Most likelt the belt

[@AlbertReimer]

Do you have any idea where I can find that belt in El Paso Texas

[@jankosgarage]

Ebay only far as i know

[@cookingintheshopwithmark1222]

Amazon

[@MikeMoyer-di6yi]

Hey man. So my 17 (61k miles) doesn't have the code. But recently my steering is acting up. Stiff at times then feels slipping sometimes then perfectly fine. My question is how was your acting? Try to diagnose whether it’s the vet or my system is dying

[@jankosgarage]

Yes mine did exactly that. Felt like the steering shaft ujoint was binding up. You should be able to just unscrew the cover and slide back the boot to inspect yours.

[@kylehook5018]

Hey man I’m having the same issue I’m wondering if you figured out the issue ( I also have a 2017)

[@OedgarPm]

my f150 2017 5.0, I have a problem with it, I have play in the steering, the steering wheel is not well centered and when I go on the road I feel the play in the steering wheel and it does not have much stability, when I go on uneven roads it has a knocking and it I feel it on the steering wheel, I already took it to the aligner to check all the parts and they told me that everything is in order that what doesn't work is the steering, for me when I turn or move the steering wheel from one side to the other it doesn't get hard or I hear no type of noise, only the play in the steering wheel. What I do notice is that the steering column has play. Anyone who can help me would greatly appreciate it.

[@joer442]

Hey man - what was it doing before you changed the belt? Did you lose power steering altogether? Or was it grinding/ cracking/ making noise? Thanks.

[@jankosgarage]

Started bindup like the steering shaft was froze then lost powrt steering alltogeher

[@joer442]

I just changed my belt today. Thanks so much - saved me bundle.@@jankosgarage
