well I guess it was going to happen, having stated my car is 10 years old and I have never had an issue with the retracting running boards, the drivers side just started misbehaving!! I did a quick search and didn't find anything on this site (not too sure what keywords to search for, door step, running board, etc), when the step tries to retract, it comes up in a very jerky fashion and stops before reaching the top. I will remove the step and try to find what is worn and why it is not moving smoothly, but wondered if anyone else has looked inside the mechanism and has any suggestions on what wears, or what to replace? Does ford sell parts for the step, or do I need to replace the entire unit (second hand from a breaker)?
