Hello i have 2 raptors 2012 stock only with rog tie rods and -12mm offset wheels & 2013 ford raptor with long travel kit. Both has new steering rack due to wear, but now both has the same issue of looseness on the steering rack piston

Need help. Do you about any kind of adjustment for that looseness. Is practically new steering rack.

I think @m3dragon found one at Rock Auto could be wrong though

There is no aftermarket rack at this time.

Best place to buy one is generaly RockAuto unless you can find cheaper but that is the baseline for replacement.

After talks with several companies, there is no market for replacing the Raptor Rack as it is a mass produced F150 rack essentially.

I have a damaged rack that i am going to play with now to see what if anything can be done to make a "better" solution for all of us. The one thing that is the Explitive is the racks main design relies on the body for guide and support. This is for cost as well as smaller packaging but does cause issues and vibration as in the case with a Howe Pump.

I will report back once I have time to tear into the rack.

Pick your poison. The Screws have a faster turn ration which means wider turn if you install that as a SCAB.

I stayed scab rack when i broke mine as it was fast enough.
