Streetwheezer Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Has anyone heard of the following? After making a turn the front wheels do not return to the home position. I have to hold the steering wheel to the left a little. After a few yards of driving straight the wheels will automatically return home allowing the steering wheel to be centered again. Also, while making a right hand sweeping curve to an interstate on ramp, the car will under-steer by itself, causing me to counter-steer to avoid running off the road. I randomly get the power assist failure in my information display but have not lost power steering yet. If I get a new rack & pinion installed would it take care of both problems? Are there 2 separate problems here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Could be either the rack and/or an alignment problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I randomly get the power assist failure in my information display . Did you bring it in for service yet and what did they say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwheezer Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 I took it to a local Ford service center and was told the rack & pinion needs replaced at a cost of ~ $2000. That's why I'm on here, hoping to see if anyone else had this happen. The only fault indicator is the power assist failure on my information display. I don't get a service engine or traction control and I haven't lost power steering as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shop it around and see if you can get it done cheaper. Edited April 3, 2018 by twintornados Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
