That's an outer joint.
As I wrote very early in the thread, it was a boot problem. If the boot isn't installed properly it can rub on itself, get hot, and then turn to blubber, looks exactly as shown in the photo. I ran a shop for 20 years, hired dozens of young inexperienced mechanics...
It's common sense descriptor if your Bronco is a Sasquatch. Ford even got it right when they put Sasquatch on the fender badge. Heck, even the lowly Base has a Sasquatch emblem. You have a Base Sasquatch, Big Bend Sasquatch, Black Diamond Sasquatch, etc. The option is significant enough to be...
Also, I can't think of any other vehicle that is so often described using an option it doesn't have. "Non-Sasquatch" is idiotic. You wouldn't say I have a Mustang "non-GT". I have a Jeep, "Non-Rubicon".

If the cRaptor is 4-door only, then Ford should offer some 2-door only Special Heritage Editions at the opposite end of the cost spectrum. Something priced in the mid 20k range. Delete some of the junk out of it. Look how well the Maverick is selling.
This would pump up the 2-door sales, add...
Jog the window switch up and down as you close the window. If it thumps every time it's most likely a loose regulator/motor. If it only thumps at the bottom it could be something catching the mechanism, like a wiring harness, weather strip, or insulation. Not an uncommon problem, actually, and...
You can definitely install an aftermarket system in a manual. The Ford system might be too computerized too fool though.
If you're fastidious about setting your parking brake, I've never owned a vehicle (powerful enough) capable of remote starting in gear with the parking brake set. So there...
Not the only one. Annoys me too. Warthog was a better name for the 4-door (Broncowagon).
I mean, Just look at this beauty. Perfect match. Has a black soft top and everything.
