Bull geek suggested removing wiper arms/upper cowl/wiper motor assembly/lower cowl to undo power steering hoses at the rack and pinion..... well....i was fighting endlessly to remove my rack and pinion without lowering sub frame because of all the horror stories of broken bolts...i was able to get the racks 2 main bolts completely out working from the bottom and thru the wheel wells(took some twisting prying and huffing and puffing). ....my problem was i could not get to the power steering lines or to the power steering hose clamp bolts without lowering the sub frame. .....so thank god i stumbled across Bull Geeks post on going in from the top....plenty of room to reach all the lines and clamp bolts at the rack that way!!! ....havent slid the rack out yet...but it looks like it will go without dropping sub frame...gonna try tomorrow. hope this info helps someone. .......Bull Geek ,you are a wise man!,thx!!!

Hello there! I have a 1993 Taurus GL and I've replaced the front struts without too much of an issue but can't find a bit of information on how to remove the rear struts on Taurus's before 94 and there is a HUGE difference. I'm having trouble getting the shelf above the back seat off. I've removed the seat, popped out the black pins, and pulled the majority of it up. I can't get the area where the brake light is to release though. I also have no idea what to do after getting passed that. Btw, my goal in doing this is to remove the 3 bolts that hold the top of the strut on on the wheel

Hello Everyone!!, After a long absence I am back, sadly school and my jobs have kept me away from here. Anyway, Carro de Muerte has sadly passed away, see my new reintroduction thread for details. Anyway I now have the red 2001 Taurus SES that I have previously said was my fathers. Just putting in a new project log for it, haven't done anything to it yet but planning on transferring over the LEDs from Carro and the AUX input first then who knows.
