    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Just got back from dealer for another follow-up. The bushing around the bolt to the rear subframe broke allowing flex and clank noise when shifting between D and R. New subframe ordered. Deemed not safe to drive. Parts diagram for replacement subframe shows two bolts. Hoping for correct part...

    New SYNC version is Available

    Racing stripes?

    I loved the look of this one at the Ford Nationals this year in Carlisle, PA. The Ford Performance guys said the only mod on this was a custom tune, down pipes, and the GT500 front rotors. It was a fun ride! Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Cover? I took mine in because of the rear diff clicking when accelerating/decelerating and clicking when switching between drive/reverse while sitting with brake applied. It just started at 23k miles. Dealer applied recall, emergency brake (which I strongly dislike) and 'ordered parts to fix'...

    RESOLVED: Clicking: P to D (video)

    Mine started doing this just last week P to R and sometimes hear during 1 to 2 shifts. I will have the dealer check it out too. Thanks for thread. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    ST vs Aviator for towing

    The Aviator has the 10R80 transmission and the correct rear subframe assembly (not impacted by Explorer recall). If I had known that, I would have been swayed towards the Aviator in our decision. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    QUESTION: Who is using/has used a 3 bolt at the drag strip?

    I've been tuned for well over a year on my 21. No issues. I did hear that the state police have a bunch with failures. A friend told me 1/2 those in the state of MA had failures. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    No broken bolt on my 21. But I did call Ford and open a complaint case about the fact that the police interceptors get the correct rear subframe, instead of a lame workaround in the NHTSA recall. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    10r80 swap

    Interesting thread. Have we heard of anyone tuning their ST to the point they hit the limits of the 10R60 and it fails? I know Ford considers this the light duty version, so curious. I'd have to think these few that are pushing the limits will find out soon. The SHO guys hit the limits of the...

    Premium Gas and Full Synthetic Oil..

    In my SHO (120k miles now) I ran Motorcraft semi-syn for 60k miles (changed when oil change light came on, roughly 5k) then switched to Amsoil signature with 12k mile change intervals based on Blackstone oil analysis results. At 105k miles, had timing chain/phasers/guides, etc replaced due to...

    Driving in snow

    Interesting, I thought that was only used while parking. I guess it is monitored while driving. If it's about that camera, I'd say " Hey Ford, if you had included the camera washer on the 2021 like you did on 2020, it wouldn't be dirty" [emoji23] Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    That's an odd message while driving, not sure what camera it is concerned with, ha. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk
