I am just shocked there isn't any warnings beforehand that the bolts holding together the steering rack and motor is falling apart or fell off already. I was probably driving with 1 bolt left. What if I was still driving and the last bolt fell off and I lost all steering capabilities?

Ford had to recall almost a million vehicles due to their bolts corroding in water/snow with salt over time.
