Rager: Thanks for the excellent info on steering rack. I've noticed the steering in my 97 Contour v6/auto has become very sloppy over the last year or so. I've had wider tires on it much of the time. Are you saying that the wider tires put too much stress on the rack, causing it to develop extra slop prematurely? Should I be concerned? I am very interested in any pics you can provide. Thanks for helping a fellow 'Tour owner!
Huh? 50% of CEG run wider tires. It's not going to effect the rack and pinion. Tire shops put wider tires on customers cars all the time because they might not have an OEM size in stock. Don't you think people with 18's would have issue as well?
