Re: Steering Problem on '01 X

[ QUOTE ]
Can anyone comment on how the parts offered in the link below stack up against what Ford recommends?



[/ QUOTE ] In my opinion the Moog joints will be way better than what Ford has. The Moog joints will be greaseable on both the upper and lower joints.

Re: Steering Problem on '01 X

I bought the X used 5 months ago, the steering didn't seem right so I had the steering box rebuilt, but it still seems to wander no matter what kind of surface I am driving on. Is there something that I am overlooking?

When I bought my 'X (new), I thought that the steering was wonky too --- or that I'd have to have suspension mods done before I'd be happy driving the truck at highway speeds.

I think that things either broke in, or now I'm more used to the truck because I don't feel safe driving at high speeds.

I've come to realize ... having thought long about it ... that many people are surprised by these vehicles and how they handle. Even though I was prepared for the 'X, it took several weeks to aclimatise. Steering response is but one of the quirks.
