Does anyone know where to get a cutaway diagram (online, or?) of a aerostar minivan power steering rack and pinion unit???? With instructions for chaanging ou the seals? Help, please please please, thank you!!!!

 

Just remove the steering stem and the protectie cap under the worm gear. There are two seals and a snap ring on the top. Remove the snap-ring and pull the yoke out. The bottom seal is installed on the yoke. Be sure to mark the location of the steering arm and yoke.

 

Try this:

Thanks, but I couldn't get the page to open!

 

Dovey,

I tried and got an error page too. There were all sorts of warnings that the page may have been disabled for various reasons. I can't find one that applied. I went to my homepage for geocities ( it's a genealogy page) and then tried it again.

Now it works. I don't know what was wrong. I'm beginning to get a strong dislike for geocities. If you still can't get in try this. Go to

http://www.geocities.com/tforeman.geo/

and then to

http://www.geocities.com/tforeman.geo/rack.bmp

If that doesn't work, I can try to send it via email if you get me an address. Or if you know a way to attach the .bmp file to one of these messages, let me know.

Tom

 

It worked. Perfect, just what we needed. THANK YOU!!!!!
