Question for a tech about my new sta bar

[dereklandon]

So I recently received one of the only stabilizer bars I could find online. It was new out of a dealership in Ohio. My question is should I be concerned about oil present in the shipping box? Or is that fairly common on new bars?

As far as I can tell the bar isn't actively leaking, and it hasn't thrown a code in the 20 miles since install.

Does it look like it's coming from inside the box? Definitely looks suspicious. I think there's a known sensor issue but I think (?) there's also been a leaking issue when they get water ingress and freeze. I don't know why a new one would do that, though.

@Ducati1098 @flip @Snacktime @BigMeatsBronco What do y'all think?

Should not be leaking when it was packaged so no, that is not normal out of the box. Since it's already installed hose it down with brake clean and inspect once a week for any other seeps, weeps, leaks. None of those hoses or sensors are serviced separately so the rack would need to be replaced under the "over the counter" part warranty. If you installed, there won't be any labor coverage but if it was done by a shop Ford will cover labor. Part carries a 2yr/unlimited mileage warranty.
