When turning there's a groaning noise. Left outer tie rod seized to a lubrication issue. Dealership replaced the both outer tie rods.

Tie rod ends replaced, front end realigned, steering making noise and dealer claimed that steering rack needs replaced to cost $500, dealer claimed repairs not subject to warrantly nor recall. Upon research, I find that Lincoln has issued service bulletins for both defects. I paid for the work to replace the tie rod ends and have not have had the steering work done as I think it should be Lincoln's responsibility. These failures were at low miles 51,408 and because of the service bulletins, Lincoln is aware of these problems.
