Rack!

[2002_lincolnLS]

Now that I have your attention.

Anyone have the manual info for replacing the rack. Mine is leaking out of the passenger side.

Thanks in advance

The gen II info is here:

Gen I should be about the same.

Joe I see there are two options one with and one without the electrical assist, do any gen ones have the electrical, haven't looked or it yet. I should have today while I was replacing an o2 sensor.

No electrical assist that I know of. However, most should have electronic boost control. It's just a two pin electrical connector to a solenoid valve.

Okay cool I will be ordering one in the next couple weeks and I didn't want to ge the wrong one

Just be careful that they are using the right definition of "electric assist."

Isn't that part of the new ZF steering in the '03s?

I don't know. Plenty on the electronically controlled variable boost on both generations, but nothing on electric assist for the LS.

I only see one rack part number for the 02 (unless you count the one for right hand drive).
