  • 2005 F150TXRD steering bracket assembly

    My assembly appears to have some significant rust that is visible at the bottom end. Is this normal? Sum b is over $500 and I am sure a pain to get to. For $500 you would think it might be stainless?

    On my F225TXRD, it seems to be just the heads of the lower mount bolts that corrode.

    I replaced them two years ago when I had everything apart for the exhaust kit,

    happened to have the skirt off recently and could see they are actively rusting again.

    IIRC, the new bolts take like a 18 mm wrench,

    there was so much steel lost off the head I used a 14 mm to remove.

    Overall, though, it looked a heck of a lot better at 10 years old:




    Than my 2006 Mercury F90 did at 5 years:



    And as you surmise - not a trivial project to R&R....
