I guess I'll have to look forward to warranty strut replacements the next 4.5 years while I still have my warranty. After that aftermarket shopping.

Seems at this point ford should be doing a front strut recall. Must have been one hell of a huge bad batch.

How are you liking the diff pinion bushings. I have them new in box but didn't install because I saw some stuff that they are breaking or causing NVH.

Could be due to either coolant or oil blowby getting into your exhaust. If the vehicle is running properly I'd be looking at the turbos. It would probably be evident if one of them is leaking into the exhaust by inspecting the turbo side of the downpipe/cat.

Thats one hell of a catastrophic failure if the diff engagement surfaces inside were no longer meshing or the shafts somehow snapped.

From the manual below. Front driveshaft is powered via a wet clutch on demand. Seems it is designed to be primarily RWD biased with torque automatically being applied to the front when needed. Thing is that it is all automatic , there is no way to set it to RWD only. Maybe pulling the plug on...

That sounds like bullshit to me. The vehicle shouldnt be throwing warning lights and codes for it being cold outside.

Ford must be using those $9/hr software developers that Boeing is using on their new 737's.

Its modern cars are just big pieces of spyware to compliment our mobile spyware devices!

Good luck. I know tuning scares the shit out of me but I bought the car to enjoy it the way I want to and there is always going to be risk involved. That being said they would have to prove the tune is the cause of the problem. With the TSB and "known issue" on your side, you have a weapon in...

I heard like 4 little warbling whistles is that it? Does sound like turbo flutter/compressor surging. Are you running a BOV?

Force them to inspect the struts and top mounts if you can.

Metal shards in the RDU and its on its 2nd already? That's concerning. Its almost like Ford should put "replace RDU" every 20K miles. Are you launching a lot? As for the transmission issues you may want to take a look at this since you are running a 2020...

So you are saying the codes are transmitted to Ford? It would be really easy for them to do with it being a IOT connected vehicle. That would also mean they know who tuned their ST's or even made changes with Forscan before you even take it to the dealer.

Oh yea? Anything I should look out for. Here I am trying to do the right thing to keep the ST healthy. It looked to me that it was well designed for the intended purpose. I tried returning the pinion bushings but Steeda won't take them back even new in box because I'm over their 30 day period...

Just had my front struts and mounts replaced. I posted in another similar thread about it. 24' under 2K miles. Warranty repaired, dealer noted "excessive wear".

Have a code reader to see what stored code is sitting there? If you don't it seems Ford should have included one as standard equipment for us ST owners lol.

Tell them to use chassis ears, my dealer noted that is what they used. Its a remote setup where they place microphones at strategic locations and can listen on earphones in the vehicle while driving. Plus its kinda freaking obvious the clunking sound like marbles banging around. That being...

I have steeda pinon bushing still new in a box , haven't installed them yet. I'll be calling steeda to see if I can return them for a refund. I do run their RDU brace already and also have subframe bushings ready to install, haven't seen any bad stuff related to those things yet.

What a joke, do better Ford!
