Haz, Thanks. Getting the full system to work would take a lot of work. Not sure if it can even be turned on in software on an Edge. I could still do a dumb system that only changes the shock damping if I can figure out the voltage used and the PWM range. Probably 12 volts. Maybe some brave forum member has this on their Lincoln and can measure the voltage with an oscilloscope.I am not holding my breath. I will try and find a shock somewhere to play with. I can use an Arduino to create the PWM signal. John

I love most everything about my 2019 ST. The bumpy ride at low speeds does get to be a pain. I am pretty sure that the shocks from a Lincoln Nautilus will fit my car. While adding the full Nautilus active suspension is theoretically possible, the cost and degree of difficulty are high. I am wondering if I could add just the adjustable shocks? What I don't know is how they are controlled. Most likely by adjusting the shock dampers using variable voltage. If I could get the voltage range, I could create the control system to vary the shock ratio. Does anyone know which system they use on the shocks? I am sure that the service manual would include this information. Thanks in advance. John

On my 2019 ST I get creaking noises from the arm rest. I am pretty sure it is caused by the cover for the hinge and hinge arms. See the attached. Does anyone know how to take this apart? I don't want to just start pulling it apart and hoping for the best. John

I was having trouble with a strange noise coming from the center console. It would come and go with no apparent cause. Well it turned out to be a water bottle in the cup holder. Others can probably replicate this. Take a half liter bottle of Dasani, drink some of it and put it in the passenger side cup holder. The noise it makes is not what I would expect from a thin plastic bottle.

Is anyone else having trouble getting their Ford. Our car was built on the 19th of November. They will not ship the car, they will not tell us why they will not ship it. They will not tell us when it will ship. I have heard that there maybe hundreds of Fords on quality hold. It is not related to the 1.6L Eco Boost issue according to the dealer. We ordered the car in mid September and still nothing. A heck of a way to run a company?? At least they could tell us what is going on. John

I actually did a lot of research on this. The headlight housing is the same. Ford removes the plastic under the ballast to run the wires through. There is a different wire set inside as well. The whole projector assembly is different. There is no way to remove it and replace it without cutting the headlight assembly. The assembly is poly propylene so it can not be glued. It must be welded using PP welding strips. One 20 amp circuit needs to be added to each assembly. If you can get this all done then you have to have a dealer reprogram the computer to accept the 35 watt bulb. I do not know if there is a 55 watt version of the bulb available. The HID projector assemblies and ballasts come up on epay once in a while. You can use these parts from the Lincoln as well. There is no auto leveler in the Ford version. The case looks to be designed to work with one. Right now the projector assembly is bolted to a plastic ring that can only be manually adjusted for height. I my opinion the OEM HID assemblies can be put into the none HID housing. I did not do the modification because my Edge is a company car and I could not see cutting up the headlight assembly as an acceptable thing. If I owned it I would have done the work.
