How to replace an EPS Rack & Pinion on a Ford F-150 

Nice job and explanation

Thanks for sharing the great information👍

So on My 2011 XLT Crewcab 5.0 would I have a warning light on the dash that the rack is needing attention

Does it come with new bolts?

Hi there, Quick question - I just got my EPS rack replaced on my 2011 F150. A few days after getting it back from the mechanic I have been having transmission sensor issues. A friend plugged his code reader in and got the code "P0720 Output Speed Sensor Circuit" Could this be an issue from incorrect programming and calibration of the new EPS rack? Please let me know. Thanks

You do not have to do this. The F150 epas will relearn the parameters just ensure the wheel is centered. Measure where the tie rod bolts are on each side originally and install. Good practice to get an alignment but if you were tracking straight before... plug in and F! ford. I have replaced this twice now. Can you believe it 3 racks in 180000 miles. 😅😅😅

leaving the old weekend warrior mechanics in the dust ! Thank you Ford "💡" This is just great ' How Ford combines and places real high tech & real sensitive electronics in one of the worst possible locations. Underneath the vehicle where it's subjected to road grime, rocks, gravel, salt, snow, water and corrosion. is this working out better than just a good hydraulic rack and pinion system ? l appreciate you high tech mechanics,' you guy's really have to constantly learn new stuff every day 👍🔧

Thanks

Is a Ford OEM Factory rack and pinion required? Or can an aftermarket part be used?

Respectfully why didnt you show you going through IDS extracting the data ? Damn

Where would I go to get the new rack and pinion module uploaded? I can’t afford that 1200 dollar device

The uploading of the pmi and as built part of this is vague. Not enough detail. I’ve installed this after market pos today. Used ids and it still hasnt worked right. Oem is the only way to go

325 foot pounds, really? Is that correct? Seems high for the size of the bolt.

Why would anyone make bolts that can only be used once? 😕

We the people need a RECALL on ele. steering locking to save children's lives,( but no the judges are paid by big business)

How much does this fix usually cost

I hate this mentality of "Only a guy with the high dollar BS equipment can fix this" why make this complicated when hydlaulics have worked for so long?

I’m actually mad at ford for this one. $4000.00 repair for a part replacement that originally used to be a very cost effective Hydraulic system. I want a truck that goes and turns. Why make it complicated with ridiculous parts like this. My 1995 mustang still steers just fine, but my “built Ford tough” f-150 can’t make 225,000km without needing a repair worth 10% of the entire vehicle brand new.

Should have bought a tundra. So annoying.

U don't have nothing for Mustang.

And dont forget to cover the seat before you put your filthy steering wheel holder on the seat 😏
