I thought something was weird on mine back in the summer when I went to replace a turn signal bulb and couldn't find the screws that holds the housing. After Monsta telling me where they were I replaced the bulb. But the problem was getting to them, mine were just below the top edge of the bumper. Through this post I now realize my mounts has a sag of about 1/2 of an inch. After looking at others and some F-250 trucks, this seems to be a universal problem with our trucks.
As stated by Monsta they all should be replaced. I plan on doing mine this spring along with replaceing the bump-stops as well.
Very intresting thread that has brought fourth a very common problem that is overlooked quit often.

When I bought my x about 2 years ago i noticed a creaking noise under the driver /pass feet area and it was the body rubbing on the frame so i cut up some trailer truck mud flap rubber and put it between the frame and the body and the noise has been gone ever since. but i just tried to get out my headlight screws and noticed they are below my bumper also. I guess it is time to get some mounts
. also looks where your top front shock bolts to the mount my inner wheel well is partially covering the nut
