Excellent video, great job. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Ford dealership asked $3500 for this job to replace the entire rack!!!

Awesome! We had this same noise with our 2016 Ford Exploder (heh) and was worried we would have to replace the whole steering rack as the tie ends etc were solid. After removing the tire, I shook the dust boot on the steering shaft and could hear the steel ring knocking around in there. Pulled the boot back and sure enough there is was in all its glory. Can't thank you enough for this, yes it would be better to replace it but they don't make them seprately from the rack which costs about 3-4 grand and only if you can find one. From one garage dad to another, thank you!

The steering wheel on my lady’s 2016 explorer locked up in the driveway, felt just like the steering column lock was on. Took a look, that metal ring was jammed sideways in the rack. I coaxed it out, steering is free now! The clicking sounds in the steering are also gone now. Thanks so much for this video!

If you looked at the rack with the ridges and the ring you can see the the clicking noise when turning is exactly what happening as described in this video..... Perfect by the way thanks for sharing OP. My wifes 2014 Edge Sport has this issue and I bet this is it.

Just went out and checked my wifes 2016 sport. It looked just like yours in the video. Cut it off and its quiet again. Thank you for sharing.

This took around 5 minutes to diagnose. Jack car up, place jack stand, remove tire and shake that rack boot. another 5 minutes to repair and put the tire back on. Super simple.

Worked great for my 2016 explorer platinum! Thought it was bad cv axle(s) until I lifted the car and steered the vehicle by hand. Had a ton of deteriorated rubber inside that boot too that I cleaned out.

That item is a bump stop for the steering. It begins as a rubber washer sandwiched between two steel washers. Without it there is a very real possibility of over steering and having the tire rub on varied items. I have seen some people try different nylon type plastic spacers in place of the factory bump stop. The bump stop takes pretty much of a beating though as can be seen by the condition of yours. Check the interweb for options for a bushing to replace the bump stop.

Other than oversteering, any other negative consequences of removing these? They are there for a purpose and I am concerned if you can oversteer on one side, can the other move out too much? What do you mean by searching "interweb for options for a bushing to replace the bump stop"? Can you elaborate? Thanks.

It's likely been missing for a very long time. And no other negative consequences seem to be associated.

Hi, thanks for this video. The dealer couldn't replicate the noise at first, but they finally did and said we need to replace the strut bearing "to fix concern". This is a $1300 "repair" basically just to get rid of the noise and our concern. They claim it isn't a safety issue at all, just an annoying noise. Can you confirm that leaving this alone is not a cause for safety concern? I don't want to pay a dealer and am not handy enough to get in there myself. Thanks!

Have you had any issues since you have took the ring off? Mine is the same way I have it apart now and about to cut that ring off. Was just wondering have you noticed anything since or is it still fine?

Well that is just a dust seal and didn't make any difference on mine, If you have any noise your steering rack is on the way out. I got excited for a moment after watching this but ford explorers are prone to rack failures. It's a $1500 part and expensive repair unfortunately.

What noise are you talking about. Would have been nice if you actually showed the noise. There are tons of noises that can occur from tie rods, cv joints, struts, etc. Let's hear the exact noise.... I think I have the same issue but if I heard it I'd know for sure.

@@TravisFaley He's exactly correct. There are way too many "noises" to talk about. A sound clip of the specified noise is absolutely crucial. Otherwise this is worthless.
