    Weekend Mechanic host Bruce Bonebrake solves steering problems on a 1998 Ford Ranger pick-up truck by replacing a worn rack-and-pinion system. Bruce shows both rack-and-pinion and non-rack steering systems and explains where both can fail. After an evaluation, Bruce removes the old rack unit, replaces it with a complete new system — including new tie rod ends--and bleeds the steering system. A test drive confirms the successful repair.
