Which Remanufactured Steering Rack?

[MFNG]

What is the size of the hex? Should be able to just get a bolt with a head the right size and use 2 nuts on it locked together to make a wrench. Or if you weld just weld yourself up a tool that fits using the bolt as the driver.

He states multiple sizes at 2:08; 27mm Allen head or 1 and 1/16” nut.

Later (6:30) he states a 19mm hex is what he is using - (not sure why my previous post doesn’t show the video anymore - link: youtu.be/8X9xpioehv4)

He welded a special tool out of a socket and ratchet wrench, looks like it would work well since it looks tight

Going to try this myself as my 2014 has wandered all over since I got it. Alignments out the back door to no avail; nobody in my area is Raptor savvy - or F150 to boot I guess since it’s nearly the same vehicle.

Hope this solves it. Let us know if you have done this.

Wandering is usually caused by toe settings or worn bushings, or severely worn wheel bearings. All this should be easy to check with one wheel off the ground.

I’ve been intending to tighten the rack as well. Just can’t seem to find time currently.
