    Any way a mechanic can check a rack n pinion?

    You all know the story... But even though I've had absolutely no leaks, I thought it'd be wise to perhaps buy a rack n pinion off of some guy I met who is parting out his exact model. He says the rack n pinion is fine and I can have it for 60 bucks and that it has no leaks. Two questions...

    That's technically true. I pretty much had to ask to get a cheaper alternative to see. She said yes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Supposedly their good for off road use. I just bought them because my wife wants smoked headlights, but she tends to change her mind. So I looked for a cheap alternative to let her see if she likes it. I wouldn't use these either. Can't use em at night cause it'd be too dark, they are...

    Hour outside of San Antonio and absolutely no leaks... Maybe it's a smaller issue? Anyway, this thing is AMAAAAAAZING! If you look close, you can see the wife managed to say "hello" while hiding... I DID NOT DRIVE WITH THE HEADLIGHT COVERS ON, AT NIGHT. I'm stupid, but not THAT stupid.

    I don't mind letter lashings. I am not blaming my uncle. I blamed the mechanic who cleared it and fixed what "needed fix'n". I never thought 20 seconds too far would break something. I've done that to my other cars and nothing broke. It'd concern me if that was a common occurence for...

    Yea well I couldn't. The mechanic closed at 3 and I had a long meeting with a client. I said I'd update, so I did. The show ain't over. (OH, and although I was't there, I did write exactly what I would have told him. I texted the whole thing for my wife to make sure he had full knowledge...

    Strange power steering leak URGENT

    My wife took it to the mechanic today and said he was so sure it was the rack n pinion, that he didn't even look at it... This mechanic has been wrong before, but I believe if he feels so sure, maybe it is. So I'm gonna get a second opinion on Monday, and if it IS the rack, the first mechanic...

    Yea... Go figure, the only thing I DIDN'T read was the manual. Lesson for the week. I'll be giving him as much information as possible.

    Thank you GaG. I'll do that before we get it looked at. I'm usually good at fixing my cars but my tools got stolen and this problem is so strange, I've never heard of circumstantial leaks like this. My experience for power steering has always been it leaks, or it doesn't. I love this...

    I couldn't pinpoint it cause it was pretty much all over that area and I couldn't tell where it was coming from. Yea the mechanic was talking about that, but he stated it would literally just let it out into the world... Haha sounds funny. If it's that much to fix, I'm not gonna go down...

    Oh, sorry about that. I will make sure to do so. It's 04 EB 5.4 4x4. I think I'm gonna take it to a family owned mechanic near by and get an honest diagnostic. I'm no stranger to having to fix things on cars, but when it's fresh off the lot, I think it's ridiculous that they missed this, if...

    Strange power steering leak URGENT

    I circled right around where is is coming from. At first I thought it was the bottom of the boot part, but it has to be a little higher because even the pulley gets some on it. But yea, it doesn't leak even ONE drop when I'm not holding it all the way, which I never do. The fluid level is...

    The leak is definitely coming from around where I circled.

    Thank you both. Based on your most educated assumptions, and what you think it most likely is, how much do you think it would cost, and how fast do you think it could be done? Thanks again. Oh yea, as far as "CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel at the stops for an extended amount of...

    Hello, Please help me. I am taking my family out of town tomorrow and noticed something odd today. I have only had this Expedition for a month, but I bought it as is, from the used car deal. My uncle works their and had everything worked on and checked out, but it's out of his hands now. So...
