Ford Edge Steering Rack Replacement Parts

The Ford Edge was sold in the UK in two generations: the first generation ran from 2016 to 2018, and the second generation (the redesigned model) arrived in the UK for 2019 onwards. The generation is the most important factor when sourcing a used steering rack, as the two generations are fundamentally different vehicles with different underpinnings. Always confirm with the breaker that the part matches your specific generation against your registration.

The 2017 Edge is first-generation and the 2019 Edge is second-generation, so these are different vehicles with different platforms and steering systems. A rack from a 2017 is very unlikely to be a direct fit for a 2019, and crossing that generation boundary is not something to assume will work. Confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

Steering rack design can vary between engine variants, particularly where different power outputs influence the power-assisted steering system specification. It is worth telling the breaker your exact engine size and variant, not just the model year, to make sure they match the correct rack. Confirm fitment against your registration with the breaker to be sure.

For the Ford Edge, trim level — whether Titanium, ST-Line, or any other — does not typically affect the steering rack itself, as trim differences are largely cosmetic or comfort-related rather than structural. You may find cosmetic differences on parts in the engine bay or surrounding area, but the rack itself should not differ by trim. That said, always confirm against your registration with the breaker, as specification differences between trim levels can occasionally extend to running gear.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can check the exact specification of your vehicle, including engine variant and model year, as these are the key fitment factors for a steering rack. Do not rely on model name alone, as the Edge spanned two generations in the UK and specifications varied within each. A good breaker will cross-reference the part against your reg before supplying it.

A steering rack is a single unit spanning the full width of the vehicle, so there is no nearside or offside variant — you simply need the correct rack for your generation and engine specification. Where NS and OS does matter is for components like track rod ends, which are handed, so double-check if you are also replacing those at the same time. Confirm the full specification with the breaker against your registration before ordering.
