About Steering Box

In order to translate the rotation of a motor vehicle’s steering wheel to the turning of its wheels requires some form of steering system. All motor vehicles have one of two types of steering system; either a rack and pinion system or a Fiesta Fordsteering box. The Fiesta Fordsteering box system works by translating the rotation of the steering wheel as the driver turns it into the left and right movement of the pitman arm, which connects to the front wheels via a track rod or centre link, idler arm (which resembles a pitman arm and is situated on the opposite side of the car) and tie rods. Most steering box linkages consist of ball bearings that circulate in a path. As a consequence, this type of Fiesta Fordsteering box system is known as the “re-circulating ball.”

In comparison to the rack and pinion system the Fiesta Fordsteering box has a greater degree of free play, which means that there is a greater tendency for the parts to wear.

If a Fiesta Fordsteering box is badly worn it will result in steering problems, which might include steering wheel shudder, tram-lining and play in the steering wheel. Because of the potential consequences of steering failure, a worn Fiesta Fordsteering box needs to be replaced at the earliest opportunity.

Ford Fiesta trivia

  • Every engine in a Fiesta is engineered and assembled in Britain.
  • If you’ve got a bit of spare cash down the back of the sofa, then you might be interested in taking a look at the M-Sport made Fiesta rally car. It’s the single most expensive Ford Fiesta in the world at a whopping £350,000.

It seems that the most famous people to own a Fiesta are Nell McAndrew, the official model for 90s Tomb Raider games, and former cricketer/Strictly Come Dancing winner Mark Ramprakash.
