Fingernip Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I had a full RDU replacement after it starting groaning during turns. It never developed a clunk but I could feel driveline resistance when it was groaning. It took about 2 weeks to get the replacement RDU and 6 hours to install. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxbfly Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Ironically my brother and I were just talking about this. He said he gets a clunk from a standing start and on turns. Of course I never heard it while I was driving. I'll send him this video so he knows exactly what to look for when he gets her on the lift. The RDU is part of the drive train and that should be covered after the 3yr/36000 warranty expires? Thanks in adavnce! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was covered still and my extended warranty also would cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info! I think he has the extended warranty. Good to know that it would be covered if he doesn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local dealer is ridiculous , they told me I have to pay a diag fee or a warranty deductible (this one I understand but being in warranty I’ve never paid a diag fee , and honestly it’s a terrible experience every time they treat me as if I’m stupid ( father id a 35 year tech I work in automotive selling German specialty parts ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you pay the deductible if the problem is covered under the warranty, none wear and tear items, and it starts the claim or you end up paying the diag fee if it is wear and tear items not covered by the warranty. I'm sure they were just making sure you were aware that it isn't totally free no matter what. Granted I have been looked at like that too since I bought my 2019, but I'm giving your dealership the benefit of the doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankT Posted April 3, 2024 Report Share Posted April 3, 2024 My 2020 Ford edge was making a roaring noise when I made a right hand turn at slow speeds. Ford programmed the differential but it still made the noise. They are now replacing it. Hopefully this will stop the noise. It is covered under five year 100,000 km warranty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhasker Joshi Posted December 11, 2024 Report Share Posted December 11, 2024 My Ford Edge 2017 has started making clicking and clunking noise, sounded like something was going to fall off. I've been told not to drive it I have an extended warranty do I get the diff reconditioned or where do I get a New Diff from Dealer is advising on back order I need my vehicle back on the Roads sooner rather than later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does you extended warranty cover a loaner or rental? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve G. Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM Hey guys I'm looking for a little clarification as to the origin of the noises described in some of the posts. My 2016 Edge has 180,000 miles on it and has started making the noises and vibrations described in those posts. Of course it is out of warranty and Ford has quoted the replacement of the rear differential at $3,950 (parts and labor). I found a you-tube video where the mechanic says the noise and vibration when turning at slow speeds is coming from the 'clutch pack.' The OEM part number he provided is CV6Z-4A232-A which is really called a 'viscous coupler'. It is listed on Amazon as direct replacement parts I assume made in China for under $500. My question is has anyone tried replacing the coupler first with either a China made or OEM part? And if so what was the result? Thank you in advance for your input!!

enigma-2 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I checked out the part number you listed on Amazon and the Chineese one I checked had a 1-star rating. I would never consider a Chinese part. Pay the extra and get guaranteed quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
