Steering Gear Insulator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. With the wheel normally loaded (on the ground), check the steering gear housing for excessive lateral movement.
    • If the steering gear housing moves more than 1.5 mm (0.05 in), the steering gear insulators may have deteriorated or the steering gear mounting nuts may have loosened. Tighten the steering gear mounting nuts.
    • If the steering gear housing movement is still excessive after tightening the gear mounting nuts, install new steering gear insulators.
