I can only think of two causes for the issue here regarding this problem that seems to be a pretty identical issue with everyone who reports it in this forum.
1. Everyone who has ever had this pop/ knock coming from their truck had or has a level kit/ some sort of mod to the front end.
2. Nexteer makes junk parts that ford continues to put in their trucks and the issue shows up in certain parts in a handful of vehicles.
If there are people here with completely stock front end trucks (Meaning no mods like level or suspension lift) and they are still having the EPAS pop/ knock then it is 100% a ford problem that is directly related to the part they are using.
Just some thoughts. My truck still has a slight pop occasionally but not nearly as bad as it was with the original EPAS.

Everyone that has this problem needs to file a complaint with NHTSA . I filed one and the more the better . My trucks completley stock and have had 3 racks and still have the problem . According to Ford it is a desirable characteristic of the vehicle hahaha

I thought I remember you saying you got rid of your last f 150 somewhere in this post.. Did you happen to buy a newer truck? And if so, have you done any mods to it or have you experienced the defective rack in it?

I bought this truck in April of 2013 and have had it ever since.

Congrats on the new truck! Your dealership will be in the best position to make a warranty determination. How many miles are on your truck?

The truck just hit 40,000. I just got it out of the shop due Popping noise in the transmission. (they replaced the drive shaft). I can slightly feel it in the steering wheel. Its 30 degrees here and every one is saying it get worst when its hot out side. I was trying to be proactive and make them pay for it LOL
