[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1487971, member: 25186"] Ok, I get the Ford Perspective, BUT... 1. The Rack bolts have no less than 3 different shank diameters. You aren't going to "find a longer bolt" anywhere easy. That is a huge cop-out, lazy answer. 2. Every single raptor out in the wild with a frame cut or bolt-on bumper is re-using those factory bolts without an issue. 3. Are you sure that the bushings are still captive and were not "spun"? ( does the bushing spin when you tighten or loosen the bolt?) 4. Did they bother to check the belt that is inside the rack? Or did they just see the aftermarket bumper, see that the bumper has to go through an extra 3/16" and decide that they had an "out" and didn't need to examine it any farther? 5. That 3/16" is not enough of a length delta to prevent the bolt from being able to tighten enough to hold the EPAS unit steady. I'll bet if you look at the bushing, there is appropriate thread engagement. Yeah, you have an aftermarket bumper, but your dealer is being a real shit about actually trying to help a customer at all. P.s.- kick the service manager in the jimmy for me, as it sounds like he/she is a real ass. [/QUOTE]
