I am posting this in the 5.0 because it has it has more hits and I dont think the engine size will make a difference. I bought my son a 220,000 miles 95 Coupe and there is some slop in the rack. I bought a wrecked 04 front clip and swaped the spindles ( I was told these are better) and I wanted to know if I could swap in that steering rack also. I would think it would fit but am not sure. As any one done it? It was from a 4.6.

not sure on that, but you have a better chance of needing to address the steering shaft joints, thats where the slop is coming from.

There appears to be some slop there . Is this available after market? Ford is 320!

Thanks but I can get the Ford one whole sale for 225 and no shipping. It is just ashame I bought the car for 700.

I've had good luck sometimes at the salvage yard unless of course you want new

As far as I can tell it is 94 95 only? I am going to check with them tomorrow. It is my sons first car and we have fixed it up With 3 in cowl hood and Cobra rims but it is loose to drive.

94-04 all had the same shaft

For that sort of $$ I'd try a 'pick-a-part' type wrecking yard...
