Not sure I understand your question, however over time the fluid in your power steering pump wears down and can break down the seals and o-rings and eventuall damage the pump, thus no power steering and eventually damage the rack. Nobody wants a bad rack. 
Cost too much to fix.

Full synthetic oil............assuming the seals are good. If it is starting to drip a bit, run a round of high mileage oil through it once or twice, then switch to full synthetic........I have always run Mobil1 - If Mercedes Benz (among others) trusts it in their high dollar motors, it's probably okay for my speed3.........

[quote=Tracker;119636]They are complete junk, ive had them, my friends had them, their friends had them, their pets had them, not one had kept them in there car for longer than their first oil change. I mean just think of anything that could go wrong, bosch plugs will not meet any of your expectations just short of melting, exploding etc[/quo
really?? lol good to know and how about the e3's? ive heard good about thoes on some car shows i watch but you never know with tv shows lol they probably get paid to say they are good lol

I'm thinking E3s are junk as well, maybe not as bad as Bosch plugs, but still junk. My neighbor was crowing about the E3s he put in his accord last year; last weekend (less than 10,000 miles since he put them in) he replaced them with NGKs. Why? His car would barely run.

ok, I took the plugs out,, they look fine. They are motorcraft "AZFS32E".
The ones I was given at the parts house were autolight xp5364.
The plugs are the same length and look similar. My concern is the old plugs have 1/2 the length in threads.
Does it matter??

Yes, it matters. That said, the XP5364 is the correct plug. I'm not sure what the AZFE32Es are or what they're for, but unless I miss my guess they have a "short" .708" thread length instead of the 1" length they should have for your engine.
