How do you get a free diagram for entire power steering system for 1987 mercury sable?

Answer 1

All service manuals out there come from the manufacturer's information. Chilto, Motors, Haynes, everybody, gets their illustrations and instructions from Ford, in the case of a Ford product. And as far as Ford is concerned I have never, ever seen a "diagram" as in the case of one picture that shows a layout of the PS system. There are pages of words and some drawings of individual parts of the PS system, but nothing that will show everything in one picture on one page. But it's simple, and really doesn't need a diagram. There are 4 pieces in the entire fluid system. 1) the pump, 2 and 3) the pressure line and the return line, and 4) the rack or gear. That's it. That is the whole fluid system. The mechanical part is the steering column shaft, the rack (or gear), and both inner and outer tie rod ends. that's it, the whole mechanical system. You have about 8 or 9 pieces total between the fluid part and the mechanical part.
