    Gee, I thought they were only replacing the bolt. Maybe the housing if it gets damaged. That's a lot of work.
    Received a letter from Ford last month.

    Out of curiosity, how'd you get the CV axle out? In the video it looks like all the bolts for the knuckle are still in place.

    Had the recall fixed on my 2020 explorer, took them more than a day to do and now my rear passenger side tire pressure sensor stopped working. Does the repair require removing/messing with the tires and could the dealership have messed it up in the process? Super informative and to the point video btw, good work.

      Also was curious about if it would actually take from 10-5 one day then be ready at 3 pm the following day or was the dealership just screwing me over? Fun note we drove an hour to go pick it up and they forgot to put the keys in the car for us to pick up after hours. Good ole times with dealerships.

      Thanks! The rear tires have to be removed but that won't affect a tire pressure sensor which is inside the tire. I have an Autel TS408 and can ping sensors directly next to the valve stem to check serial number, pressure and temperature of each sensor. Your dealer or any tire shop will have a tool to perform a quick check. If it doesn't respond to the TPMS tool then the sensor is dead and will need replaced. If the sensor is good then the TPMS system needs to be relearned.

      Passenger side rear tire is not removed to do this recall. OASIS only instructs tech to remove driver rear knuckle.

  • @trevorrobinson7422
    @trevorrobinson7422 2 месяца назад

    The drive shaft has to be removed by force. WSM says to use a specialty tool to attach to the driveshaft right near the diff and then use a slide hammer to pop the driveshaft out.

    Does the recall come off OASIS once it’s been performed at the dealership? Seems like it will fail again? I was hoping they’d add a second bolt to the recall.

      Yea. It will disappear from outstanding field service then show up in warranty repair history.

    Ford recently updated the Tech Bulletin for this recall. All vehicles MUST have the diff cover replaced. Rear end has to come all the way out now.

    Ugh..I have subframe bushing inserts, poly diff carrier bushings, Steeda diff brace and rear sway bar and full BBK in the back. Almost feel like I should put all the stock parts back on before taking it in for this to be done. I just don't trust anyone else to work on my car

    What happens if you take car in for this and you car starts swaying afterwards did forget to tighten something?

    • @raincitywrench117
      @raincitywrench117  7 месяцев назад

      Definitely. It should drive just like before. You should notice no difference in the way it drives. If you are having issues, I would get it back in and have all the suspension components inspected asap.

      Every one I have seen that falls under this recall is an ST model. Some of the rear differentials have to bushings and bolts. Maybe yours has two bushings?

    you can do it without removing the rear diff

    • @raincitywrench117
      @raincitywrench117  7 месяцев назад

      Were you able to do one that way? I looked for the cheat but found it virtually impossible to press the large bushing out and back in with the differential in place.

      remove shielding, remove driveshaft support bolts but leave driveshaft connected to transmission. Support rear diff and remove rear diff bolts. Remove rear sway bar bolts and lower the back part of the subframe. you'll have enough room for the removal tool and you have easier access to install the bushing.

      yes I've done it multiple times. I have the Ford tools but the bolt is not holding up. Had to switch to grade 8 all-thread and grade 8 nuts but even that only does 3-4 recalls. Going to try cutting it out as mentioned above.

      Left the differential in place on my next one but this bulletin has been updated.
      STEP
      22. Install only a new differential housing cover (Do Not install the rear axle assembly at this time). Follow
      the WSM procedures in Section 205-02.
