Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. I just finished doing the job. Took about 5 hours including cleaning up my work bench before I started and clean up after I finished. I spent around $250 for parts. I needed a couple coils and changed all three rear coils since they were the originals with 175k miles. The Ford dealer wanted $950 to do this job, or $450 to buy two coils and the gaskets from them to do it myself.

That is part # 5. That is a piece of rubber not plastic. That part was replaced. Thanks!

I used a heavy duty zip tie on one of mine some 25K miles ago. I put a dub of silicone on the tie to keep it in place.

Pretty straight foward procedure, I'd get a Chilton or Haynes manual at your local parts store for help. I assume you have drums in the rear, so those take a little more patience with removing the springs.

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.

Continued 15) IF YOU ARE RECEIVING A CEL 0401 "EGR Flow Insufficient", follow these next steps carefully. IF YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING A CODE, skip to step 19. BEFORE REMOVING THE THROTTLE BODY, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODY GASKET. If you purchased the upper and lower gasket kit shown above, the gasket is included.

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. Andy

I've had the same problem for the past few years with our '01 XLT V6. I'd temporarily band-aid it with 3M adhesive, and pushing the material/fabric into the groove with a small flat blade screwdriver. I finally got tired of messing with it on all four doors and not only removed the fabric, but also that piece of thin foam. I bought a yard of the same vinyl that Ford puts on the ...

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.
