Replace that part with this:



I think if you look on the underside of that part there are some adjusting bumper stops.

Perhaps they need some tweaking or have fallen off.

Lots of wearing pivot points. Try replacing the 4 bearing sleeves where the actuators attach to the "hinges" part#99992413040

Not expensive or hard to install with top in service position.

Twisting caused from diy lifting without a lift? I think the rubber stops are adjustable but I dont remember them working for the particular area in question. I will have to check again.
