[QUOTE="ATXraptor75, post: 1487725, member: 35859"] So my gen2 Raptor has been making some groaning noises comes from the power steering when at a complete stop and while moving if you turn the wheel. I took it into my local dealer in Austin and asked them to take a look while changing oil/general maintenance. they came back saying the driver side bolt that holds the power steering linkage up is not long enough due to the fact I have an aftermarket bumper installed. I installed the svc smurf bumper myself a while back and as I think most of you know reinstalling these 2 bolts for the power steering is an absolute pain because 1) you have to torque them like all hell 2) they screw into some rubber fitting so there’s no real indication of when they’re all the way in. Ford is telling me they don’t want to touch it because they’re concerned it can overstrain the bolt and/or cause other issues. they advised on getting a longer bolt but couldn’t tell me anything in terms of a real commendation I asked them to advise On how much further they thought I needed to screw it in and they said 1/4 in. does this seem like an accurate diagnosis? Has anyone else had this issue? These guys at ford seem very questionable.... [/QUOTE]
