Product Details

The BBB Industries Reman Rack and Pinion line focuses on remanufactured steering components for repair work that calls for OE-style fit and hydraulic operation. This 101-0162 rack and pinion assembly is built for 2003-2007 Ford Crown Victoria, 2003-2007 Lincoln Town Car, and 2003-2007 Mercury Grand Marquis applications with power steering and no EVO component. The design includes inner tie rods and uses two mounting holes, with pressure and return port thread sizes listed for proper hydraulic connection.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Steering Issues It Can Address

• Excessive steering play or loose on-center feel
• Hydraulic steering fluid leaks from the rack assembly
• Uneven steering response during turns
• Worn internal rack components affecting road feel
• Noise or binding from a failing steering gear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses power steering and is equipped without the EVO component before installation. Confirm mounting-hole spacing, input shaft dimensions, and hydraulic port thread sizes against the original unit. Because outer tie rods are not included, inspect related steering linkage parts during service and replace any worn components as needed. After installation, perform a full alignment and bleed the hydraulic system according to service procedures.

Quality Assurance

BBB Industries remanufactures steering components to meet service-replacement requirements for the listed applications. Part number 101-0162 is intended for direct-fit service on the specified Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis model years.
