Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector pin counts, rack length, and input shaft dimensions before installation. This assembly is for 2011-2012 Ford Explorer applications with power steering and Automated Parking System equipment, and the OE programming procedure must be followed after installation. Because outer tie rods are not included, reuse or replace those components as needed during the repair.
