just recently had the dash replaced on my Raptor due to some staining from the factory. I now have some up/down play in the steering wheel. I’ve reached out to the dealer already. Anyone else seen this? I really hope this is an easy adjustment

Looks like the dealer didn’t tighten all the bolts up. Take it back to the dealer.

So besides the wheel did they do a good job? Mine is scratched from factory but I'm going to trade for a 19 instead of replacing it.

I’ll reserve judgement until I get this fixed. The new dash looks great but I’ll see how this fix goes.

Johnnypython, do you know if the steering wheel needs to be removed for this?

Probably not. Looks like the entire column is moving. On most cars the column is bolted under the dash. I’ve never taken the Raptor dash off so I’m just guessing. I know it’s painful but just get the dealer to look at it.
Good luck.
