My 1984 ford f150 steering has a lot of play in it why?
Most likely caused by defective inner tie rods, outer tie rod ends, worn parts inside rack and pinion, worn pitman arm, worn idler arm.
It's leaking power steering.
Your steering system is old, just like the rest of the truck. It's just "doing what it wants to", right? Being defiant to the steering input? Check the fluid, if it's dirty, black, whatever, just use a turkey baster and suck out all the fluid, replace with clean, start the engine, turn the wheel back and forth a couple times, repeat until the fluid is a good color. Alternative= get it flushed at a shop. But they will charge you more than what you will pay in power steering fluid to do it yourself.
If it doesn't help, you have more problems. Your rack and pinion might be slipping. Get under there and check out the mechanisms for grinded gears. Then you'll know what needs to be replaced.
Being a 30 year old truck probably has a lot to do with it.
- Why do a lot of Class A gas RV's have a steering wheel that says Ford on them? I know a lot of Class C RV's are on a Ford Chassis, but why do a lot of Class A (flat nose) gas RV's have a steering wheel that says "Ford" on it like the one in the photo?
- Sub has no highs but play lows nice? So I had my 500 watt alpine amp with Rockford punch 12" in my hyndai with a head unit and it hit the highs and lows perfect. Now I transferred the same sub and amp to my Ford Taurus only using a converter so I can play it off my stock radio. The lows hit so nicely but there's like no highs at all.what's up with that?
- How do you tighten play 55 Ford car steering box? 55 Ford does not have the nut and set screw that many other boxes have how do you remove play in box?
- Why won't the gas in my fuel tank go in the carburetor? 1984 Ford F-150 302 5.0 Automatic? I have put a new fuel tank, new starter, new battery, new fuel lines, the fuse is good for the fuel tank. I have at least a 1/4 of a tank in the fuel tank, i can only get it to run if i put gas directly into the carb, it won't flow from the furl tank to the carb. What should i do? Please Help. * i meant new fuel pump, not tank.
