  1. I noticed a leak under the car and it looks like a brake line has let go above the gas tank. I can't tell if it's left or right cause I can't see above the tank. I noticed there is a union under the driver side so I can split the line there easy enough. Does anyone know if there is one above the tank? I need to figure out what side it is so I can hopefully buy a pre bent line or maybe make my own.

  2. Both rear axle seals are bad in my rear end and need to be replaced. I took a look and it looks like there is nt enough roo. To pull axles out of the diff without removing the axles and thus the rear suspension...

     

    Is there a chance I can drop the diff I stead? Currently the drive shaft is out for a different reason and was wondering if this was possible.

     

    Any tips for replacing these or dropping the diff would be helpful.

  3. Aside from the driveshaft, I only see the center support bushings:

    7T4Z-4A169-A

    7T4Z-4A169-B

     

    No leaks from the PTU or RDU? Fluid level/condition OK?

    Those 2 parts numbers refer to the bushing between the support bushing mounting tab and the frame. PTU seals already done and not leaking. Rear end has a slow slight leak and is not very low (can stick finger in the fill hole and touch fluid)

     

    Called ford and they want over $1000 for a drive shaft to replace the crappy rubber support bushings...There has to be a way to repair this vs replace the whole thing. Id sooner sell the car then sink another $1000 into it.

  4. I have an 07 AWD that has started "thumping" under acceleration. I feel it in the floor and is load dependent not speed. It feels like the driveshaft support bushings are bad so i laid under to check it out...

     

    Well i can move the drive shaft around a fair bit with my bear hand, but there seems to be no play in the u joints. Can the bushing/support be replaced or does ford expect you to buy a whole new driveshaft to replace a piece of rubber? Can anyone confirm my suspicions regarding this issue?

  5. The memory seat function on my edge does not work at all. I can set the power seats and mirrors. The easy entry works buy following the directions for setting seat positions does nothing. The buttons on the door have no function at all. Is there anyway to test them? Is there fuse or control module I can check? Recently my wife has started driving the edge and its creating a war over seat positions I will certainly loose.

    1. Install the wheel bearing and new wheel hub bolts. - Tighten to 133 Nm (98 lb-ft).
    2. Position the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly and install the 2 bolts. To install, tighten to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft).
    3. Install the brake disc.

    AWD vehicles

    1. Using a suitable installation tool, install the halfshaft into the wheel bearing and wheel hub.
    2. Install the halfshaft hub nut. Tighten to 275 Nm (203 lb-ft).

     

    Bang on, between that post and the link to the other one ill have it sorted out in no time. Too bad the cheapest bearing i can get in a pinch is $169 but when i get home i can get one for $69.99.... Oh well

  7. Thanks found exactly what i was looking for

     

    Quoted...

     

    I replaced my using a Torx 60 bit 3" long ground round from 1/2 back from tip about an inch and a half in order to miss hitting the ABS ring on the AWD CV Joint. 1 1/4 Socket to remove Hub nut (2) Retourque to 213 and 132 respectively (something like that....the hub should come with instructions). Leave the disc brakes on the vehicle and have someone apply the brakes while breaking the nut loose. A 3 jaw puller works just fine to detach hub from splined CV shaft.

  8. So i just had the driver side rear wheel bearing go out on me before a 6000km trip and im in a pinch for tools...

     

    Can anyone confirm the size of the axle nut and the torque bolts that hot the hub in? Can you squeeze by the ABS ring or do i have to drop the whole rear suspension arm to do this jesus job....

     

    Any tips would be appreciated. Im sure i could do this blind but cant afford any hangups on this one.

  9. Does anyone know if you can call ford and give them your vin to see if there are any outstanding flashes for you car?

     

    I noticed the trans is super soft shifting but never slips. Also gets a little temperamental when gearing down while rolling and no throttle applied.

     

    It all feels like ecu/tcm related to me and not physically broken
