Something is obviously messed up for struts and mounts to be failing for me only after a few thousand miles. And even for others with under 100k miles and only a few years old. Maybe it was a batch of covid struts still in circulation lol.

Got mine a bit ago still sitting in the box, can't wait to get it installed. Going to have a shop do it along with my BBK once that comes in.

Glad you got it back. Still wish they were more forthcoming with what exactly happened to the original.

Heh had the same experience recently and figured out the above steps on my own before going looking for fixes. Was a PITA but at least the fix is now posted here.

Do you know for a fact that they will just tweak the existing 91 tune? I'm betting they have to start all over again with baseline, tank full of 93, and do all the data logging pulls and file transfers back and forth. That is why he will have a 91 and a 93 tune that he can flash back and forth...

I have the cvf downpipes and thermal 3" exhaust and absolutely love the combo. I had a shop install it and they didn't mention needing to cut anything. The downpipes are designed to fit the stock exhaust, and the thermal system is designed to fit the stock downpipes. It should all work.

I did DP's and exhaust. I had the same logic as you plus the sound and looks make me happy. Aesthetics are a thing. Plus with all the other mods/tune and hey an extra 25HP adds up. I'd like to think the DP's also help with turbo spool up, then again not like stock it was a big deal.

Just got the ST back from the dealer. Great service from Mark Ficken Ford in Charlotte. Dropped it off Friday AM, picked it up Monday afternoon all fixed. It was indeed the front struts similar to the MY23 TSB posted earlier in this thread. I'm betting Ford has a stash of "potentially bad"...

I already have the Steeda diff brace installed currently, no issues. I have sitting in boxes Steeda subframe inserts, steeda diff pinion bushings, JXB insert, and whoosh bolt. Once I get the BBK in I'm going to have it all done at the same time by a performance shop. Reading about your RDU...

Dealership just reached out. They stated that both front struts and possible strut mounts will need to be replaced. They say the parts should arrive tomorrow. Pretty shocked that they'd have them that quick, we'll see!

I'd still like to understand the reason for so many RDU failures in the first place. Is it poorly designed, poor QA, shitty materials, installed improperly, undersized mounting system causing excessive movement, undersized in general for the power it is handling? All of the above?

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm sure your update will help many out there until Ford can get it's head out of its ass.

My ST is at the dealer now for this low speed front end clunking. Under 2000 miles :( . They said the tech "foreman" personally took it for a test drive and heard the noise. They are supposed to get back to me Monday with what the issue is and the resolution. Since I haven't touched anything...

Did you get yours diagnosed and fixed?

Welp add my 24' with 1800 miles to the list of wierd rattle clunking noise seemingly coming from the front. Starts at low speed , even when the road is not bumpy. I try braking, accelerating, putting in neutral and idling, etc. seems to be there no matter what. The ST handles great and no...

That will be one fun as hell ST! Keeping a tranny as a cold standby sounds like a bit much. Perhaps think about locating a reputable transmission shop in your area with 10R60/80 experience and purchase to keep on hand a performance rebuild kit like one from Suncoast ready to go? This way you...

I drive similar, I'm not doing trans break launches but also don't baby her when the road conditions allow. My plan is what others mentioned, if she starts to slip, that's when I will go for the "built" rebuild. Otherwise I plan on moving to the PPE aluminum transmission pan when I do the first...

Awesome can't wait to read about your build. That being said going all in like that wouldn't it be prudent to look into engine internals upgrades as well (forged pistons, connecting rods, etc)? Also don't forget supporting stuff especially the fenfab oil pan to ensure engine blood pressure stays...

Yep, running less than quality "top tier" whatever from the big names and highest available octane in your area is doing dis-justice to the ST. It's a must if tuned to run what your tune specifies as well of course. I threw a few bottles of octane boost/improver in the back just in case I'm...

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for something like 30 minutes and re-connecting? Basically a cold-boot.
