|  Power Steering Gear Connections Issue
I'm changing out the rack and pinion on my brother-in-laws 98 Ford Taurus (base model) and have reached the point where I change the power steering auxillary actuator bracket off of the old rack and pinion and place it on the new one, I took the power steering return port and mounting bolt's out and changed it to the new one, however when I did this a small metal orifice fell out of the one of the old RnP's holes and I do not know which one to put it back into on the new RnP??
Any help is GREATLY appreciated, I'd like to get done with this today.
Thanks. |

Do you have the ford part number of the steering gear? It should read something like
F2DC-3200-AA. The middle number (3200) denotes steering gear. The first 4 digits denote decade/year/product line code/design responibility. The last 2 are for different variations of the same vehicle. | |

I checked a 94 model year gear for a crown vic and it showed the "valve asy pas check" installed before the pressure line is connected. Makes sense, you don't won't pressure going back up to the pump via the pressure line. The return line does that. Hope this helps. | |
