Likely the plastic bushings inside the gearbox have disintegrated.. that is a commn failure on these. You can buy those online for a few bucks and rebuild the gearbox or you could just replace the whole motor/gearbox assembly, it's almost the same amount of work either way. There are videos for how this is done online.

There aren’t any bushings in my ‘87 Bronco window motor and since the OP didn’t mention year I wouldn’t assume that is the right part.

I think you meant 8th or 9th generation F-Series. It appears to be a 9th generation (‘92-96) to me but is that same truck with the window problem?

First thing I learned from the boys at the Lincoln store
You can fix those disintegrated drives using high side AC caps (the smaller plastic ones)
Save yourself the money for the new drive
Take it apart and cram 3 a/c caps in there
