Detailed Description

This PWR steering gear is built for Ford steering systems that require a power-assisted replacement with the listed spline, shaft, and port dimensions. The 3.3 turns lock-to-lock specification helps maintain the steering feel expected in the original application, while the direct-fit design supports a cleaner replacement process. Part number 61-5082 is a practical choice for restoring steering performance on 1997-2004 Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, Ford F-250, Ford F-250 HD, and Ford F-150 Heritage models where the fitment matches the vehicle configuration.

This part cross-references Ford F75Z3504CA and 276565 for the same application.
