Hey everyone. I have a 94 Ranger with the older style interior. I am 16, therefore I am new to the "automotive repair scene" as I would call it. Im not sure what it is called or if I can change it, so I'll describe it as best as I can.

When I turn my steering wheel from lock to lock, it is a lot more turns than newer vehicles, like my mom's Ford Freestyle, that require 2.5 turns? I think. I was wondering if there is an adjustment in the steering ratio that can reduce the numer of turns on the steering wheel you have to make to turn from lock to lock. Thanks!
 
Nope, the amount of turns it takes is part of the steering gear. FYI, I don't think RBV's are anymore than 4 turns, though.
 
2 1/4 each way, I belive....was just playing with mine today, but I am a little sun drunk....100 & 5 freaking degress:drool:
 
I've had the same complaint. If you want a slower steering ratio to mitigate snap oversteer, the then perhaps it would be better to dial out the snap oversteer rather than slow down the steering ratio.
