They threatened too but were able to get it approved as recall hours on the basis of the vehicle had functional 360 cameras when it came in for the recall, it should leave with functional cameras. If there was any other reason for work on the cameras I expect I would have been billed for it.
Just got mine completed, I had brought the bronco in shortly after it was purchased with bad window rattle and they said yes it rattles and there's nothing we can do and sent me on my way.
Fast forward to now and I asked them to check again and provided the ssm number from this thread. They...
got mine back today after a successful calibration at the dealer, they had to remove my front bumper and that let the system calibrate correctly. (my winch blocked the view enough to cause problems.)
Correct, the springs fit on the factor Bilstein's, (replacing the factory coil obviously) I used the springs noted above and ended up about 1 inch higher than stock height with the load i described. You could go with the softer ones and end up right at stock height with your set up as you...
I went with Dobinsons coil springs on the factory Bilstein's. I went through a few sets to find the right balance of ride quality and height. settled on the 562 springs up front and the 569 springs in the back (winch up front and 2-300lbs cargo in the rear) I bet I could even go one rate...
Mine is at the dealer now for the camera recall, I have stock size tires with some stiffer springs (Dobinson's) and the dealer cant calibrate with the new rear camera. They are working with ford on it but makes me wonder what's going on. The cameras were perfect and I have never has an issue...
Really excited about this program, I have been a member with our local Search and Rescue team for 20 years now and its a constant struggle to fundraise for vehicles to get the job done. The newest Vehicle in our fleet is a 2008 with 156k miles on it.
I dont know if its possible in this case but I have seen shops swap the left and right control arm and install them on the wrong side, might be an easy quick thing to check.
I have Dobinson springs on my stock factory Bilstein's and I have been happy with them. I did go with the softer 2dr springs not the recommended 4dr springs from dobinsons and that has worked well for me. got the truck back to factory height plus and inch or so with winch/bumper/and a few...
Nice design! I got mine printed off and inserts installed yesterday and will get it mounted up soon.
Appreciate you taking the time to draw this up and share with the rest of us.
Wanted to add to this, mine failed in a similar fashion but instead of backing out both my bolts sheared.
Dealer covered it under warranty but was a pain to work with on it an blamed me at every turn they could. the service manager finally said "we dont have enough evidence to deny...
Agree with this, the added leverage and lack of double shear may be your issue, from the fabtech site it looks like this should be installed inside the bracket not behind.
Do you have an aftermarket track bar also that swapped the location?
an option for replacement, Barnes sells a...
