A new service gear kit has been released for service to minimize cost to the customer and to reduce service complexity. The new service gear kit (also
known as "short rack" power rack and pinion gear) has the tie rods and bellows deleted. This new gear kit is used for replacement of Ford power rack
and pinion steering gears (identified by a one-piece aluminum die cast housing). Ford Parts and Service Division will discontinue the complete gear
assembly for service when current supplies are exhausted.
