The PWR 42-2416 is a practical replacement choice when restoring steering response, correcting hydraulic leakage, or addressing excessive play in the steering gear on these vehicles.
What It Helps Resolve
- Steering fluid leaks from a worn rack and pinion assembly
- Loose or inconsistent steering feel
- Noise during steering input
- Hydraulic pressure loss in the steering system
- Wear-related steering gear performance issues
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the steering input shaft diameter, line fitting sizes, and end-to-end length before installation. This assembly uses hydraulic connections with female inlet and outlet fittings, and mounting hardware is not included. Inspect related steering components, alignment settings, and fluid condition during replacement to help ensure proper operation after installation.
Quality Assurance
PWR states that its pumps, racks, and gears are tested for leaks, pressure, noise, and function, and this unit is USA engineering approved. That testing process supports consistent steering performance and fitment confidence for service work on Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer applications.
