Removing and installing the steering gear on my Ford Mondeo (2002). Generally applicable to all FWD vehicles especially Fords. Including lowering the rear half of the front subframe.
In this job I also swapped over the track rods and did a power steering fluid flush. These are elaborated on in their own videos:

** Warning! Some fluid product listings online are listing Ford spec M2C938-A as a replacement for M2C195-A. That is Mercon LV ATF and I'm fairly sure it's an error.
