Just a tip, take a picture of the rear brake setup before you start tearing it apart. I have the repair manual,
chilton or haynes I forget, but it wasn't that much help with the details.

Have you guys ever replaced the inner
tie rod? It shows in the manual that you have to take the rack off (.... that.) and was just wondering if anyone had had luck with doing it while the rack was still on.

Well, I just got back in from looking things over again. It looks like it may not be as big a deal as I thought. The nylon fasteners I have measure .400" across the flats, so I should be able to drill out the existing holes to 13/32" (.40625") and then
square off the corners with a small flat file. Guess we'll see how it works tomorrow.

I'm not sure about our 05 Escape, but let me explain a common problem with shift
interlock systems.
The interlock is intended to keep you from shifting out of park unless you have your foot on the brake. It must be a solid hold on the brake, not just resting on the pedal.
If you attempt to start shifting before you depress the brake pedal, you can trap the release ...

To my
knowlege, none of the Escapes came with cabin filters (from the factory). I suspect the ones that have them were dealer installed. I'd bet that the absence of the filter was a cost saving thing. My '05 didn't have one.
