HOSS 3.0 severe duty STEERING RACK and TIE RODS ...Ford Performance M-3200-WT

[flip]

Catalogue shows it like this. Any of the items that have a shape is sold together but they can also be sold individually depending on what it is. In the inner kit, it's the green triangle pieces. Orange square is the outer tie rod, white square is a short rack, green pentagon is long rack and purple rhombus is just the boot and clamps.

A purple rhombus ?????????? I thought that was a purple diamond. Oh well just like the "pound" sign (#) is now hashtag. I can't keep up with this renaming stuff.

Note to self: ..............No more diamonds they are called rhombus.

If we’re getting technical with the renaming of stuff I believe diamond was the lazy re-brand of the original rhombus

Don't know the technical term Ford uses but figured rhombus was as close as I could get.

Here's a list of short racks. The replacement suffix is next to the old number.

Long racks.

I just got the part number from the service tech: MB3Z*3504*AR
I see you have one listed there with a G at the end, but then handwritten is AR next to it. What is the difference?
And my service tech still doesn't know when I will get my new rack in from Ford.

I also, just talked to Tyler (Broncbuster) on the phone to see if he had any extras and he has a couple racks but they have different part numbers.

What did he say when you asked about doing a swap? Also I have one used

 

[MUDLVR]

Thank you! So if I'm reading this correctly, I won't see one until first week of July most likely. I might just get the HOSS 3.0 and have mpeugeot program it for me.

Tyler said if he had the correct one for me, then he would send it to me, and then when I received mine from Ford to just send him that one.

What part number is yours? The one I need is MB3Z-3504-AR

Here's the only #s I could read. AFAIK original unit 22 BL. worth $400 as a core, but perfectly good when removed

Thanks for the pics. None of the numbers match up though with what is on @flip 's screen shots on page 90 though. I wonder if he has some insight.

They wont add up cause they are engineering #s. Leme try running the vin on repair link

EDIT: after checking the one I have decodes to MB3Z-F or -C. -AR is w/Sasquatch...that one is non-sasquatch BL (so WTF is the difference there?)

 

[flip]

The build date range is 5/3/21-5/17/22. Only way to be sure is looking it up by the VIN. This is the LONG rack.

Short rack is. Only difference is no outer tie rod ends.

I did check Hoss 3.0 racks as well. Available in PDC (Memphis?). Not Chicago anyway...he said 2-3 days out, usually that means Memphis for us in the Great Lakes region. Chicago is overnight. Either way, can be had!

If the racks are physically the same dimensions, one has to wonder if the motor is any stronger or if the pulleys are different sizes to provide more torque.

very curious about this…

got me thinking about what the known differences are between the Ford racks. I think my head actually exploded. It would be great to have this data all summarized in one place.

it would be nice to start a new dedicated thread for this. We can keep updating as new knowledge is gained.
