Interesting... On the passenger side there was nothing in the way when extracting the bolt.



Driver side it looks like a squirrel chewed a hole in the plastic to get access to the bolt head. It sure didn't look like a factory job.



As a follow up, the wife says the steering is much more solid now. In the past she would comment on it being sloppy and I kept checking the steering pump fluid. I had changed the steering fluid lines and thought it might be associated with that, but glad to find out the problem is fixed by replacing the thrust arms and bushings.
