Just did this on my 2013 Ford F-150. My steering got tough last week, I was about to buy a new rack for $1800 before trying this. I wasn't sure if it was the eps belt or the motor but I tried and on opening the cover I saw the belt broke I ordered a new one changed and now works like a new one. Thank you very much for the video my friend
Glad I could help!
@@poorboydiy Is it possible to tighten the slack on the electric rack? I get a click going over bumps or moving the steering wheel when the engine is off and Its not the intermediate shaft, looks like its coming from the rack
Thanks a lot ! Was looking at replacing the whole rack on my work truck, saved me a couple buck !!! My man
No problem man glad I could help.
My 2012 power steering kinda stop work last night I was shopping around for a used part but I think I’ll try this first thank you
Good luck! Hope this works for you.
@@poorboydiy well I just tighten the belt till my new belt get here but it’s working good. Crazy people spend $2800 on new rack all you have get a new belt, take like 45 minutes to do.
Great video!
You're a god!
It's not as easily accessible on the 2016 explorer. Got a ton of water out of the boot. Only 30k. Almost no grease. Some crusty rust. Bolts come out towards the center so might pull the rack. Hoping the fault clears

Oh no that's not good 😐
Need a RECALL. on ele. steering rack and pinion gear. Maybe after 100 children die.
Is there a gasket that you need to replace on the cover? Or will I just need the belt?
@@icecat14 just the belt
I went ahead and broke mine down yesterday and sure enough...broken belt. Git one on the way.
Your video skipped over the actual belt install. Is it a real pain to get back over the pulleys?
No it's pretty easy just make sure it's all cleared out.
And insure you have the tensioner pully tight I would test it before I put the cover on to make sure the belt isn't slipping.
I’ve got this all open & the new belt has arrived, but I can’t seem to get the new belt on. What’s the secret? Got probably 5 hours of frustration before asking for help!
And, just for clarification, I have the tensioner out. Just can’t get it on.
@icecat14 hey, so all I did was losen the tensioner cause it's offset and the belt slid right on
@@poorboydiy holly shit!! I guess you’re my lucky charm. I finally got it to slide on. Only took 6 hours! 🤣
@icecat14 glad to here just make sure you roll that tensioner tight. I used a flat head screw drive underneath to make sure it was tight.
Great video.
I have a 2013 f-150 the issue is minus temps in manitoba.
No steering in the morning, it is literally frozen.
Then when it warms up by noon I can steer with no problem ?
I have no clue what would cause this.
Not having any luck in forums.
Would like to save $2000 if a could.
That's a weird one.
No screaming or kick back in the steering wheel?
I'm sure you've figured it out by now but it's probably the knuckle on the steering shaft under the hood. Probably time to replace it but a little PB blaster will fix it temporarily.
OK, I’ll provide a good laugh for everyone--this is done on the passenger side not the driver side like I attempted lol-- time to reassemble and switch sides to the passenger side!!!! The video is obvious. It’s the passenger side. I am just a tuna head!!!!
How did you make out? Was the belt blown?
Wow thank you for the information, I have a 2013 f150 and the steering is starting to get tight on the turns now. Does this sound like one of those symptoms of this belt?
I think I will track down one of those belts and order it. Would it be a good idea to lube that screw gear while your in there ?
Thanks so much
Kind of is there any sounds or jerking of the wheel?
Is there a belt on each side or only one? If there’s one on each, how could you tell that side was bad?
@tomascarp912
Hey there nope just the one belt on the passenger side
@@poorboydiy Thank you very much! I really thought you wouldn’t respond since it’s been so long but you did and super quick! I appreciate your help a lot, I pray this works for me
@tomascarp912 you are welcome good luck I hope it helps
I know it was a long time ago, but do you know what size wrench is needed for the nut on the end of the worm gear at 01:20?
Sorry I can't remember
Did you have to clear the fault?
Nope it cleared it self when I did it
What’s the part number for the belt?
SKU PSS.EPS.FRD.005
@@poorboydiy did you have other faults pop up or was it just the steering assist
@John Chandler yes I had abs faults and traction control faults aswell.
@@poorboydiy thanks for replying to my post very appreciated
What are the symptoms?
@robloxperalta
All depends if the belt on the inside is starting to go, you will hear it when you make tight turns. Also the longer you wait the worse it gets it will start to pull the wheel out of your hands when you are doing slight turns until the belt blows.
Then it will be arm strong steering.
One way I found out mine wasn't a bad electric motor, was after it blew, if you start the truck and just touch the steering wheel in either direction you can hear the little electric motor spin then you know the belt has blown.
Is there a way to fix slack in the rack itself?
@@dustinellerbe4125 I haven't had to deal with that yet sorry
@@poorboydiy no worries man. Thanks for the response
What’s the part number for the belt?
Did you have to get a wheel alignment? If so what would you recommend doing differently.
Nope didn't need an alignment nothing changed. I didn't adjust the end of the tie rod.
Thanks for replying!👍Did you have to take both wheels off doing this job?
No I didn't just the passenger side
Nope just the passenger side
