because if the a-arms are the weakest point of failure the results are more catastrophic.... also, when the tire rods break people usually think stop is the next logical answer. which suspension component would you suggest to be the sacrificial lamb to tell someone you pushed it too far.

velcro and duct tape... engineering on demand...

i seriously doubt this will be covered under warranty. this might be considered use beyond intended purposes. also, a tie rod failure is a good thing. it is a weak link for a reason. it keeps you from doing much worse damage. it is like a crush zone on the body, it is sacrificed so the damage is...

really, most people don't know how to properly use a screwdriver. they do not hold the driver straight and use adequate pressure to hold the bit tightly into the fastener so magically the hardware is at fault. there are reasons people cannot assemble ikea furniture neatly. i remember sitting...

i have been a mechanic on and off since 1984. eight of those years were as a helicopter mechanic. i am religious with my maintenance. do what your conscience tells you is right... steel or aluminum should not change the required torque and clamping force required to hold the wheels to the hub...

how many degrees of turn will it take to apply 100 ft lbs of torque over 85? or what is the difference in degrees of turn between 85 and 150? also do you torque with a wet torque or a dry torque. i always lubricate the threads on my lugs before torqueing. this is a forum, there are many things...

when i get my bronco, i will check the owner's manual... i have been using 85 ft lbs since i have started driving in 1983. i have never had a failure. if the new specs have changed, cool. i have always used a torque wrench set to 85 -90 foot pounds and never had a failure. also never snapped off...

check your numbers... if you are torqueing that high you are going to be experiencing hardware failure these are wheel lugs not torque to yield bolts. anything with aluminum wheels will experience damage at the 150 range.

if you got a vin, it will be a 2021 model year... so it should be built on or before 12/31/2021... so you are ahead on most of us... so sometime in the next three months..

if i am not mistaken it is wired into the vehicle for the purpose of powering the unit. it then uses bluetooth connectivity for signal input. maybe a floor mount application in the cargo compartment might work better for the view. most of us who drove cars of the 80s got good at building speaker...

looks like a couple of guys might have gotten great deals on a 4 runner

probably not

i generally use 85 pound feet of torque for wheel lugs. if you have a locking lug you may want to leave it a little looser, maybe 50#ft.

the damage is not a "ford" problem, they built the vehicle right it passed QC and was shipped. it is with the transport company, either the rail carrier or the truck carrier. they will be responsible and will pay for the repairs. as far as the carfax report goes, it will not show up because the...

the gauge clusters were interchangeable between the 65 and 66 mustangs, but i digress into the analog age...

maybe the gauge cluster is revised for the 22 model year.... that would give some of us something to look forward to. like the jump forward of the instrument panel for the 66 mustang over the 65...

with the steel rear bumper and the distortion of the trailer hitch, that one received a serious rear impact. chances are the geometry of the whole vehicle is way off. it might make a good off road only project, but for street and interstate use, it would be questionable at best. we only see the...

does ford really need to contend with the foolish actions of owners making bad choices with modifications? these are nothing more than signal wires to actuate a relay. if someone burns one trying to jump start another car it is on them. part of growing up is making bad decisions and learning...

looks like the tie rods are just dangling from the spindles... like they were not properly tightened after the alignment from adding the tires... they vibrated loose and then catastrophic failure... i doubt this will be covered by warranty...
