Have you ever wondered how a simple, almost effortless turn of your steering wheel manages to move your wheels, even though the weight of your entire vehicle rests on them? The answer lies in your Ford Festiva steering rack. Of course, you have to have some way to turn your wheels and direct your vehicle, because you can’t always drive in a straight line. The Festiva steering rack is a rack-and-pinion assembly that translates the motion of your steering wheel into the movement of your wheels, using hydraulic power steering fluid to amplify the pressure you exert on the steering wheel.
If your Ford Festiva steering rack goes bad, you are going to have problems steering your vehicle. There are a few indicators that let you know when there are problems with your steering rack. “Heavy steering” or “hard steering” usually indicates that you are low on power steering fluid, and this often means that the seals and gaskets of your Festiva steering rack are worn out, usually due to wear and tear through normal use.
Another obvious sign that your Ford Festiva steering rack is having problems is a large puddle of power steering fluid under your car. If you fill your empty power steering fluid reservoir only to discover that the fluid is leaking out again, check your hoses and your power steering pump as well as your steering rack for the source of the leak.
