Your math is a little flawed. .3 qts is not 3 oz, but 9.6oz.. I got the same out, 6.7qts, which really wasn’t a precise measurement when eyeball measuring in qts. That number was totally expected. I've generally accepted 1/4 quart loss on a drain as being residual left in the filter...

Folks, the earth is flat. Those scientists and their new fangled theories that world is round is just plain wrong. They don’t know what they’re talking about.

I think it is more up and back. The ball end would be more indicative. Like this

Put the Escape steering parts on the Rock crawler to save money. No doubt, a vehicle this capable should have had the F150 parts at minimum.

We can talk about elastic and plastic properties of different steels all day but for the sake of an auto thread about bent and broken tie rods I just wanted to point out that some steel bends and some steel breaks.

Lol, they just waxed the tie rods.

No and I think the color difference in striations is that the metal sheared apart at the top and was compressed at the bottom.

Hardened steel does simply fail. That’s why you sometimes have to be careful selecting bolts. Lower grade bolts will bend/stretch and higher grade bolts although stronger will just snap. Like the fuse reference above, sonetimes you want a bolt to fail before the the part.

Yeah but that thing is bent too. I'm no metallurgist but I've come across enough bent/broken parts in my days. If it is bent like that, most likely it bent before it snapped.

I'm not exaggerating. Check them out. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/mic-hard-top-roof-breaking-cracking.50313/ https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/windshield-shattered.50436/

I must admit, there have been a lot of JDA's (just driving along) lately. There's the one with the cracked roof panel, the giant hole in the windshield, and now this.

Thanks for the info. It's weird that it takes so long to start chirping/squealing enough that you can hear it while you're driving. Test drive really isn't even needed, after about 10 minutes you can hear the zip tie sound as I refer to if you jack up a front tire and spin the wheel. Just...

do it all in gold.

Thule makes some darn good stuff. That’s quite the contraption with the dropdown extension. Do you risk dragging it on the ground when pulling into driveway/parking lot aprons or any other transition to incline?

We had options? I think I heard Raptor and all comprehension ceased after that. So what were the other options exactly?

Somebody has watched too many adult movies!

Don't get worked up over the paint marks. Sorry I brought it up. I just looked at mine and I also have green and purple marks (the Joker do our alignments?), just not as sloppy a job as they did on yours and I never noticed the green before.

The paint marks on the tie rod. Green line doesn't line up and looks like it was crossed out with a pink marker. I would guess the green line was the factory marking when the alignment was originally done and another alignment done after. I could be wrong, maybe someone with factory knowledge...

Did you have an alignment done on it already (judging from the marks)? Was there a reason?

what the... No lift or anything?
