if the inner rod is what i think it is, you should lower a little the front axle, form it rear side, you should support it with a suitable jack, remove both rear bolts (just the rear ones) and the lower the jack completely.

in this way the sterring column will now be very much accessible from the back of the engine (i forgot to say that the vand shoul be lifted and properly supported to make possible to enter down the van)

when done, now you could remove the dust cover and also remove the nut of the steering arm, and also all the arm with the outer rod on it (you should remove the outer rod from the damper to)

and well, now just replace it, tighten it and then litf the front axle and replace it in it place, put on the bolts, and tight it.


well, i expect that this was usefull,

i have to say that, when google "windstar rod" i find the rod that its attached to the damper, so i supose that the inner one, was the rod that is at the other side of the steering arm, and that is attached to the hidraulic steering column.

PS: sorry for the spelling mistakes bro, i don't know very well the english language.
