1987-95 Ford Taurus SHO TRW Rack & Pinion Steering Parts Diagram & Part Numbers

This is a page from a TRW / Federal Mogul automotive parts catalog covering Ford Taurus rack and pinion steering components, specifically for the 2/87-95 Taurus SHO. An exploded diagram at the top identifies the major steering components: the gear assembly, inner socket assemblies, outer tie rod ends, and bellows kits on both the driver and passenger sides. Below the diagram, a parts table lists TRW part numbers for the SHO application: long gear assembly 15780RS (except variable assist) or 157208R (with variable assist), outer tie rod ends ES2513R (driver and passenger), inner socket assemblies ES3105HD (driver and passenger, marked with the improved low-friction design symbol), and bellows kits 15102 (driver and passenger). Mount bushings are listed as N/R (not required/not released). Handwritten annotations note the metal socket design with grease fitting on the tie rod ends and that the low-friction inner socket design is stronger than OE. Footnotes explain that Performance Steering (Firm Feel) is common in sport packages, that reorder numbers appear in parentheses when stock is depleted, and that a Socket Adapter Tool (Part # 969230) may be needed to remove or install the improved low-friction inner sockets.
