Review on OEM Power Steering Torque Sensor + Alignment Tool for Ford Escape - Improve Power Steering Seals Performance by Steven Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly. tips below.

The part worked well, fits and works in the Mazda Tribute. The locking ring is very difficult to remove, I recommend using long needle nose pliers with knurled ends, none of my pliers will touch it. Remove the steering column shroud, unplug all connectors and the single harness hangs out to the side. With the wheel in the 11:00 position, slide the bungee cord over the underside of the wheel, hook it to the sides of the brace, and then remove the two Torx T45 screws securing the column. It will go ahead as a whole. This is the easiest way. You can use Forscan Lite, any Android phone (maybe iOS?) and any ELM327 based OBDII Bluetooth module to reset the power steering control module and perform the relearn process. It is very important that you do this. If you have a way to remove that bastard locking ring, you can easily get the job done in 2 hours.

Pros
  • Replacement OEM torque sensor for strut mounted EPS unit
Cons
  • I will add later
