Ford Steering Rack, Pump & Steering Box Repair
Hydraulic and manual steering specialists — repair, reconditioning, sales, fitting and UK delivery.
Ford Hydraulic & Manual Steering Specialists
Pro Power Steering repairs, reconditions and supplies Ford hydraulic and manual steering racks, hydraulic power steering pumps and steering boxes for suitable cars, vans, commercial vehicles and classic models. Customers can bring a vehicle to our workshop, send an original unit for assessment or ask about buying a suitable reconditioned replacement.
This page is for conventional hydraulic and manual steering. Newer Ford vehicles that use an electric steering rack or electric steering column require different diagnosis and parts; visit our Ford electric power steering page for those applications.
Ford steering equipment varies by model, generation, production date, engine, drivetrain and wheelbase. We identify the original rack, pump or box before confirming repairability, exchange availability or price.
Request a Ford Steering Quote
Call with the registration or VIN, model and year, engine, steering symptoms and the part number from the original rack, pump or steering box. Photographs of the unit and any visible leaks or damage help us identify the correct service.
Ford Steering Racks, Pumps & Boxes for Sale

Reconditioned racks
Hydraulic and manual Ford steering racks supplied subject to the correct original part number, rack dimensions and vehicle specification.

Hydraulic, Manual Rack, Pump & Box Services
Hydraulic steering racks
Assessment for fluid leaks, worn seals, corrosion, internal wear, damaged boots, play, stiffness and inconsistent assistance. Suitable units can be stripped, cleaned, measured, reconditioned and tested.
Manual steering racks
Inspection for excess play, worn bushes or guides, stiffness, damaged pinions and contaminated grease. Manual racks are assessed against the condition of the original casing and hard parts.
Hydraulic power steering pumps
Checks for noise, leakage, poor pressure, pulley or shaft wear and contamination. A failed pump should be considered alongside reservoir condition, hoses and the rest of the hydraulic circuit.
Steering boxes
Repair and reconditioning for suitable Ford steering boxes with leaks, play, stiffness or wear. Correct adjustment and original component condition are important.
Pipes, hoses and fluid contamination
Leaking or restricted pipes, ageing hoses, incorrect fluid and debris can damage a replacement unit. The whole system should be inspected and flushed where required.
Supply and fitting
Where suitable, we can supply and fit the replacement component, discuss wheel alignment and identify any related steering or suspension work.
Common Ford Steering Problems We Can Assess
- Power steering fluid leaking from the rack, pump, pipes or steering box
- Heavy steering, especially while parking or at low speed
- Whining or groaning from a hydraulic pump
- Steering assistance that changes as the vehicle warms up
- Fluid foaming, contamination or repeated reservoir loss
- Knocking, play or movement at the steering rack
- Notchy, stiff or binding manual steering
- Excess free play from a steering box
- Uneven return-to-centre or poor steering feel
- Damage following a collision, kerb impact or failed gaiter
Noise or heavy steering does not automatically prove that the rack or pump has failed. Tyres, suspension joints, top mounts, the steering column, fluid condition, pipe restrictions and alignment can create similar symptoms. A complete diagnosis helps prevent unnecessary replacement.

Yes. Suitable reconditioned units can be sold for part-only supply, UK delivery or workshop fitting, subject to identification, stock and any exchange conditions.

Suitable hydraulic and manual racks can be assessed for repair or reconditioning. The result depends on the condition of the casing, shaft, pinion and other hard parts.
Do you repair Ford power steering pumps?
We assess and recondition suitable hydraulic pumps and can discuss a replacement where available. The hydraulic circuit should also be checked for contamination or restrictions.
What if my Ford has electric power steering?

Alignment is normally required after steering rack removal or replacement. Related suspension and steering joints should also be inspected.
