you say that the track rod can be replaced, is it an easy job? im very handy with the spanners, will I need special tools to dismantle the rack.
Thanks
you will need to remove the track rod end,count the turns when removing,lock nut,rack gaiter,there is a tool for removing the rod assy but some people get away with plumbers tap nut tool or vice grips,not sure on a ford if there are flats for a spanner,refit in reverse and the wheel alignment will need to be done when the job is completed,good luck
