Demonstrates Ford Ranger steering box
Demonstrates Ford Ranger steering box adjustment on a 2007 Ford Ranger 2.5 TDCi double cab 4x4. The vehicle was due for its annual inspection and at the previous inspection, the tester commented that the steering play was nearly at the point where it would fail the inspection. They said it might need a new steering box.
The play / slop / backlash in the steering can be adjusted at the steering box, and this video shows how this was done.
There is supposed to be some play in the steering system on this vehicle: the factory workshop manual states 0-30mm, measured at the outer rim of the steering wheel.
The first step is to check all the ball joints in the steering and front suspension, to make sure they aren't the cause of the sloppy steering.
After that, I measured the play at the steering wheel. It was around 35 mm in my case. At this point I checked the MOT inspection manual and found that the test allows for play of up to 75 mm!
This vehicle was still outside the manufacturer's specification, so I went on to adjust the steering box.
The battery, battery tray and battery tray support bracket need to be removed to get to the adjustment screw.
Next I loosened the 17 mm lock nut on the adjustment screw and made small adjustments until I was happy with the play measurement at the steering wheel.
The Ranger passed the MOT with no advisories - good news!
