[QUOTE="Jack Hidley, post: 13927362, member: 17703"] Ford uses electric steering racks in all of the applications that use Ecoboost engines. The engines do not have any extra bosses cast into them to mount a power steering pump. This makes it challenging to mount a PS pump for a hydroboost unit. It is not really possible to retrofit an electric steering rack into a vehicle without the correct sensors, buss and control system. The racks themselves are quite nonlinear and require the correct data from the buss to have good steering feel. In my case, I'm putting the engine into a 1987 Mustang. I'm keeping the hydraulic PS, so the PS pump will go where the a/c compressor was. [/QUOTE]
