I spent an hour at the local Ford dealership while having the wife's Mustang serviced yesterday, I had a nice visit with one of the salesman. I just happened to mention I needed to replace the steering gear/rack & pinion in my 98 Mountaineer for the second time in 110,000 miles. The salesman told me that was a weak link in all those types of vehicles (too much weight on the front of the vehicle) and I wasn't the only one to have those types of probelms. I have not read anything like that in the many different newsgroups I lurk through. Would any of you more knowledgeable folks care to comment on this issue. Thanks, Steve
