  1. New original equipment tires, Pirelli installed on Monday at Costco - no change in the shimmy shake, but significantly quieter than the Bridgestone that were on.
  2. Recently occasionally when I back out my garage then turn the wheel full lock to the right to move down my driveway I've heard and felt a soft knock on the left front. I have all my wrenching life avoiding the use of the "Parts Cannon", but that's about to change. I suspected the left lower control arm bushes or ball joint so a couple of days ago I took a closer look at them, also used a pry bar to see if I could invoke some movement, but none - the inspection method used is flawed in that the control arm is in a taught position with the suspension fully extended. I've ordered a new Fomoco control arm for $213 delivered, that might arrive in time for installation this weekend or it'll be the next weekend.
  3. Congrats. From the same dealer and with the same maintenance package serviced by them?
  4. The free flow air filters obviously allow more damaging particulate to pass through which is the most significant factor for me, but many are misled by the claims of increased power. There are other components that dictate the maximum air the engine can ingest.
  5. Welcome. 14.8v seems a little high. When you replaced the battery did you reset the BMS (Battery Monitoring System)? It could also be a parasitic drain - do a search for that and you'll find a few good YouTube videos on how. Places like AutoZone have testers that check the CCA, Cranking Voltage, and Charge rates - have them do that.
  6. His would be the 2.7L V6 Twin Turbo. I did my serpentine belt kit (belt, idler and tensioner) at 103K miles and would say that 100K miles is a good interval for this.
  7. YES Try fixing the caps-lock.
  8. From what you describe I'm guessing yours was evident at specific speeds - mine is only there at a specifc speed range (55 - 65 mph) AND accelerating - light throttle just cruising at any speed has zero vobration. Tomorrow (11/1/25) around noon I'll have new tires on but don't expect any change to this issue. On Saturday afternoon or Sunday I'll get in up on four jack-stands, and front wheels off, then scrutinize all potential areas such as the lower control arm buses - if its that I get the complete lower control arms. Should I stick with Motorcraft or are Moog and Mevotech acceptable? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2017,edge,2.7l+v6+turbocharged,3434543,suspension,control+arm,10401
  9. Welcome. It's the first I hear of this here on the forum, so makes me question the diagnostics that led to all those parts being replaced - might want to consider a different mechanic/service shop.
  10. Compared to the two other brands I've tried after the original set wore out, I decided liked the originals best for all season performance and tread life. I've had tires installed at Costco with no issues, but thanks for reminding me about the potential damage to the Ford lug nuts - I just recently installed the new set that I got when the dealership destroyed them at the 5K mile service (had them on the shelf all this time). I'll insist that impact wrenches not be used.
  11. Welcome. What alternator brand and where did you purchase it? Non-OEM alternators are widely reported here to be incompatible with the vehicles computer charging controls - check the post directly above yours. .
  12. Ordered new tires at Costco for installation on 8th November 2025. Price was pretty good. The "W" speed rating version are $170 more than the "S" - I confirmed from my photos that the original tires were the "S" rating so that what I went with, and the fact that the Sport and myself aren't going to get anywhere near the speed rating of the "W".
  13. Best check the owner's manual for the transmission fluid change interval. In extreme operating conditions such as towing etc. the recommended transmission fluid change interval is 30K miles, and for normal use 150K miles. Question, what is the motivation for the dealerships suggesting transmission fluid changes at such lower mileage? If there's fluid found on the floor or anywhere outside the transmission make sure you have written records that you've addressed this with the dealership for them to resolve - doesn't matter whether they messed oil or overfilled it, it's their issue - there could be further issues like seals etc.
