Yes sir. She is handling daily duties at the moment so there are lots of little things to take care of. But otherwise, things are going well and the heat works so good! I have some more videos in the queue already! Glad you like the focus content. Its hard for me to know what people like!
My dad will get a kick out of your comment. I give him shit for it but I tell you what, when the milwaukee can't do it, that Black and Decker gets it done hahaha. Good eye!
It is probably a very similar procedure, but I think the 2005 focus may have a slightly different rack part number. But overall I would expect them to be 99% the same.
@@RobTheMarkets the job of replacing this rack isn't terrible but I had a lift. It would have had me cussing a little on jack stands but it can be done.
@@605BOLT yessir, im gonna have to do it on stands, definitely can be done just gonna be a pain in the ass. My only problem is that I don’t wanna fuck up my alignment to the extent where I’m not driving straight because im gonna change my rack out today and then head to a shop to get an alignment, had a tooth break off causing my rack to slip when I turn left, kinda scary driving the mofo haha. This video 100% is gonna help out in a bit once I start the job
After watching u take that rack out I realized that there was only one car that I've ever pulled the rack out on the passenger side. I'm thinking out loud, but that's interesting tho
@@605BOLT naw naw naw, I watched what way u took it out🤣 I was just telling u that from watching u made me remember of a rack job that I did where I pulled the rack out from the passenger side. That was the only rack I've pulled out from the passenger side ever. Basically I was just pointing out that in general it's pretty rare to have to pull racks out from the passenger side
Not looking forward to doing this on the ground. Lol. Those subframe bolts are probably gonna be awful to break loose with a bar. Lol. I got a notch worn in the rack and the steering binds up when i turn to the right. My pump is leaking pretty good too. Lol. So im swapping the rack, pump, and all those rusty lines at once. Im also getting the SVT style pressure line cause i got an SVT header to swap in there. Lol. Wish me luck. Lol
@@605BOLT yeah. I had a 5 speed mk1 zx3 in highschool like I have now and loved it. Lol. I already did the knuckles, front lower control arms, and drop links. She's getting there. Lol
With a lift it took me and my dad about 3 hours I would guess. Not bad. On jack stands it would be more involved. I'd plan around 5 or so. It would be a pain in the ass but definitely possible.
@@605BOLTyeah my steering rack just went out and I gotta replace it, don’t have the cash to take it to shop so ima have to do it on jacks and good ol concrete bed
Where did you buy the rack and pinion from
I got it from my local NAPA store.
@@605BOLT
How much
Great to see the SVT focus vids still coming!

I'm digging the black and decker impact...they don't make em like they used to....great video as always 💯

Right on..haha😁👍
Oops, don't throw out that heat shield Ford hoseclamped to it when customers started boiling power steering fluid up outta the reservoir!
It was maaaaaangled haha.
Impressive.
Made a huge improvement.
Got a brand new rack and it's doing this just not as bad
Ah dang it! I'd be looking to warranty exchange it.
will this work on the 2005 focus zx5?
It is probably a very similar procedure, but I think the 2005 focus may have a slightly different rack part number. But overall I would expect them to be 99% the same.
My fiesta mk6 steering rack leaks somewhere from upper housing (neck). Is it enough to change seals from that area?
Boy that would probably be very hard to do. If it was my money I would want to just get a new rack and be done with it.
Did you have to get an alignment done once you finished or did you just do the alignment yourself?
I did get an alignment. You can get close but you'll never be as good as what an actual alignment shop gets you.
@@605BOLT kinda figured, exactly what my uncle was telling me. How bad was it once you finished ?

Oh wow! Never heard of that. That sounds sketch!

I must have lost u on camera repositions. It came out the driver side. Probably could have come out either though.
@@605BOLT naw naw naw, I watched what way u took it out🤣

@@PhillyDee215 oh oh oh. I got u. Ya that probably doesn't come up much. first rack I've ever had to change actually.
@@605BOLT aye, now that u did one they'll all appear to be the same😉you got it bro
Man I don't want to make that job a habit haha.
HI, do you know, st170 steering rack has some differences between simple focus mk1?
I don't know if it does or not. This is a US Spec SVT Focus. I am assuming the process is very similar.
You ladies did Ok..
Glad to have your approval.
Hi my friend, greetings from Costa Rica, The steering rack Focus ZX3 and Focus SVT It's the same .?
I think so but I'm not sure. I just asked the parts store for the part.

That's going to be a big job; stick to it though. These cars are too cool to let them hit the junkyard!
@@605BOLT yeah. I had a 5 speed mk1 zx3 in highschool like I have now and loved it. Lol. I already did the knuckles, front lower control arms, and drop links. She's getting there. Lol
@@yamaha94O Excellent. This shouldn't be a ton worse than that job.
Tie rod ends not ball joints
Oops. Slip of the tongue.
To make it more easy u must remove the subframe thats what i did
That's another way to do it. Might be easier for some people but for me, this was the best way.
approximately how long does this take?
With a lift it took me and my dad about 3 hours I would guess. Not bad. On jack stands it would be more involved. I'd plan around 5 or so. It would be a pain in the ass but definitely possible.

How did it go?
Can a steering rack be modded?
In what way do you want to mod it?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Leaking 🤮
Do you have a problem with that word?
