Tee Member 29 Member For: 19y 3m 18d Posted 22/03/06 10:05 AM Share Posted 22/03/06 10:05 AM I had my T in at the dealers 4 TIMES to correct the steering creak. On the fourth go they fixed it - well for now at least! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24201-steering-creak/#findComment-362617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one end of the steering rack there is an aluminium bush that fits into the crossmember. The aluminium on aluminium eventually starts to move and make a noise. They fit a stainless shim part number BA 3S639 A Shim Stainless Steel. The dealer fixed mine last week.
