Ford Explorer Electric Rack and Pinion Replacement not super hard kinda easy

It's true that electric steering racks and pinions are becoming increasingly popular in cars. This is because electric steering racks and pinions are more efficient than traditional hydraulic systems, as they require less energy and are easier to maintain. Additionally, electric systems are more responsive than hydraulic systems, which can improve the overall driving experience. With advancements in technology, electric steering racks and pinions are becoming a more viable option for many drivers. #fordexplorer #steering #rackandpinion

[@RastamanBuilds]

Dealer or match up the old one at a nut and bolt place or take it to a machine shop and they might have one or can tell you where to get one

[@tuhogartunegocio]

Hello friend, one question, after replacement, is it necessary to take it for alignment? I have a friend who made a replacement, I don't have it aligned and the car runs for 30 minutes and it got hard again 😅

[@Chris.P.Bacon.]

Yes it is. You also need to have have it reprogrammed by a dealer.

[@tuhogartunegocio]

@@Chris.P.Bacon. Thank you very much, blessings to you

[@RastamanBuilds]

Alignment yes

[@ashleystinson4688]

Did you reprogram after install?

[@RastamanBuilds]

No

[@Heartbeat1991]

Didn’t last? I did one 2 months ago. Had a tag saying it would be damaged if not programmed. 400 miles later it failed completely.

[@rasmusbengtsson2787]

@@RastamanBuilds no you are not alone 😂 btw i just came over from tiktok to support your channel keep it up man

[@Vlasnijdosvid]

In order for the nuts to be unscrewed and the bolts to remain intact, you need to clean the rust with a metal brush and fill everything with WD40 or brake fluid. And what is also important, you need to unscrew it with your hands, not milookee with a torque of 1000 Nm. Although this also does not guarantee that the bolt will remain intact, it increases its chances of life.😉

[@ega0117]

How many miles on your vehicle til you you need a new Rack n Pinion 🤔

[@Cherokee-sz7xi]

What should this job cost at a shop?

[@RastamanBuilds]

labor should be approx $750 plus alignment

[@ryanc3219]

No programming needed?

[@RastamanBuilds]

Not for me no

[@ryanc3219]

@@RastamanBuilds did it have park assist? Also, just found out, Ford has added a total of 10 years of warranty on these. Your customer could be compensated for this repair.

[@curtisf2814]

I know that's a bunch of BS you can't replace that bushing yourself or there's not a spring to tighten it. That's a 1500 fix
