I haven't heard of a software configuration that could be manipulated by the likes of Forscan.
The RDU coupler can be disconnected which will make it permanent FWD.

I mean, isn't AWD by definition 4 wheel drive? I'm confused.
No, they're not the same.

Just going by what can be seen in that photo I'd be very surprised if the strut is OK.

Not sure what you're attempting - do you mean to force it to stay in AWD which would be similar to a permanent 4WD ?
I know that there's an app the BMW guys use to force it into 2WD (Rear Wheel Drive).

Sorry to hear that.
I'm interested to see what position the insurance take on the BC Racing coil overs - my thoughts are that you could insist on OEM but doubt that they'll entertain any upgrades.
It might consider it a liability risk to them in the event a non-OEM part results in a severe accident.
Hope they don't use the performance parts to weasel out of their responsibility.

My dealer did mine a few years ago, as per the TSB, no issues so far. Just FYI that the TSB fix is holding.
I did mine as per that TSB - its a robust fix.
I had the collars in hand but they were too bulky for the available clearance around the shaft/tube - I had all the materials on hand to apply the TSB solution.

The only scanning device I have full confidence in, is Forscan and Forscan Lite.
I cheap OBDII dongle and the free Forscan Lite is the most cost effective option.

The forums search feature is totally useless and don't expect any improvement from the owner.
Use the forum's URL and the key words in Google.

I may or may not be able to provide any help for you, but no one can unless you provide a bit more information. Year, trim, is this a new to you car, have you done any work on it that may have affected the radio, etc. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for those links @enigma-2
This has been bugging me for a long time and I've seen two DIY methods that I'm considering.
The one in the attached PDF uses 3/4" pieces of coolant hose with hose clamps, but I'm leaning towards the sway bar clamps.
Just not sure what size sway bar clamps to get, 3/4" or 7/8" - might get both sizes off Amazon.
Two-Piece Clamping Collar, Carbon Steel with Black Oxide Plating, 7/8" Bore Size, Set Screw

What makes you think this bearing is gone?
From what I've seen when I recently replaced both front CV Axles, the bearing isn't replaceable without a transmission tear down.

What are you using to read codes?

I have this. What was wrong?
What codes are stored?
Does it happen all the time?

Checked my records and the failed pads are Centric Posi Quiet - definitely avoid those.

Today I installed the RH CV Axle.
The only battle I had was extracting the axle - all YT videos show smacking the inner joint with a hammer - I even went to Lowes to get a heavier hammer, and that didn't work - see the section of all-thread and nut in the photos - I cut a length of all-thread to fit snugly between the inner joint and a bolt head on the PTU, then holding it with a pliers I backed the nut out and as it reached the end of its thread the axle was free to extract - way better than beating on it.
The I noticed the friction material had come off the outboard brake pad - went to Autozone and got a set of new pads - found the same thing on the LH.
The LH CV Axle cured the vibration but I could still just a little at exactly 60mph with acceleration - that is gone now.
The inner joint on the RH axle had similar wear divots, just not as deep - the lubricant didn't run out like oil as was the case with the LH, but it looked an odd brown color.

I replaced my low beam bulbs with LEDs. They are brighter but still only shine on
about 30 feet of the road in front. Can they be adjusted separately from the high beams?
Pity the oncoming drivers that will be blinded using LED's in the low beams.

Hello
I have a simple 2011 Ford Edge that after replacing the spark plugs, it draws air from the manifold and the engine draws less air. The mechanic said the problem might be with the throttle valve and he still hasn't been able to fix the problem. The main problem is that the engine runs at idle and makes a hissing sound every few seconds and the engine runs poorly. It seems like the car is short of breath and the hissing sound gets louder when you give it gas.
Please help me, what should I do?Welcome.
What you've written doesn't give us much to work with and suggest a fix and based on what you've written it doesn't look like you DIY.
Any suggestions here we expect that you'll convey to what appears to be an inept "mechanic" which isn't ideal - it would be far better to seek the services of a local reputable real mechanic.

Wonder what's behind Ford switching from the 75-140 to 75-85 for the PTU ?

Any suggestions from you guys on the transmission fluid? That's the one I haven't done any research on.
I've searched and contemplated switching but have stuck with the OEM trans fluid because of the mixed responses I found.
This is what I was considering:
Valvoline Multi-Vehicle (ATF) Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid

New CV Axle installed and a trip on the interstate confirms that was the issue all this time.
Much easier job than the control arm replacement and with that said I might just go ahead and replace the right side.
The old inner joint felt just a little rough and the reason can be seen in the photos - also the lube appeared to be gear oil, not a grease, or maybe it was grease when it started out.

2019 Edge Titanium PTU drain and fill

I think that's a good idea and similar to the approach the I took.
