A collection of components designed to restore functionality to the steering mechanism of a specific model year of Ford trucks, namely the 1996 F250. These kits typically include replacement parts such as bearings, bushings, levers, springs, and fasteners necessary to address common issues like looseness, excessive play, or difficulty shifting. They allow for repair of the existing mechanism rather than full replacement.
These components offer a cost-effective and practical solution for owners of these vehicles seeking to maintain or improve steering performance. Given the age of these trucks, wear and tear on the steering assembly is common, leading to decreased handling and potential safety concerns. Addressing these issues through repair, rather than replacement of the entire assembly, can save money and preserve the original vehicle configuration. The availability of such a solution is relevant because these trucks are often valued for their durability and continued use in demanding environments.
