How's the steering feel? Little weird with loose feeling? Mine is pretty messed up, every bump, pothole or uneven surfaces will turn the steering wheel quite a bit. In both directions.On further inspection, dealer confirmed u-joint at base of steering column is faulty. It moves freely one way and is binding the other. New u- joint is on order. The replacement strut mount and other sway bar link will not be installed yet. There was a similar issue with faulty steering u-joints with 2008 Escapes that was causing a clunk sound. Hopefully this is the fix.
If you read your Ford warranty it stipulates that you can ask for just the parts if it's covered under warranty.I wish I could just show a video of my car to dealer, have him give me the $85 part, and be on my way.
