Steering Box Issues
So I have has my new screw for 2 weeks and I just found out that the dealer has to put in a new steering box. The parts are at least 10 days away.

When you turn to the right you don't get power steering, the service person said there is a gear that needs to be replaced.

The rental normally comes with the purchase of the ESP.
I guess I'm going to sound a little stupid here, but I take it that the F-150's don't have rack and pinion steering. The Expedition have it.
