It's actually someone else's red thing, but because I neglected to take a photo of mine I borrowed someone else.

My stock steering gear was loose as a goose, and most in the SD forum who replace theirs with remanufactured Motorcraft only report marginal improvement. This thing has near rack-and-pinion-like precision now, and I couldn't be happier with it.

It's pricey, you can get a cheap rebuild for just over $100, but they do a nice job!
