ANYONE
have a solution they have found to correct the slop/play in these??
I have searched (well best I could) the forum(s) for information on the part numbers 1995-1997 intermediate steering shaft (the telescoping type)
I have replaced all parts on the front end, and still had plenty of play in the steering wheel,
of course shop says replace this, replace that, replace those.....
well after Multi-hours on computer, found that Ford had put RUBBER inside the shaft where it slides in or out, that is where my play is coming from, it catches a rut on the left and OFF I go to the left pulling myself back to the right with over steer, very scary.....
Short story long!!!!
everyone post comments and pictures and how to's, but I would like to know part numbers, where they bought one, or if can even get them any more. (would be great for people researching to see this information?).
so what I need is help with finding a place to get these parts.
I need link or the part/numbers for a 1995-1997 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD intermediate steering shaft (upper?? lower??) column.
Thank You all in advance.
