540Kms On The Clock And Power Steering Pump Gone

[bionicxr6t05]

Brand new from dana now means built in thailand unfortunatley... We are having endless dramas with these diffs

[bossmang]

well tell ford to stop cutting corners for I <3 Bananas sake!

[bionicxr6t05]

Lol they will eventually when enough Of these diffs blow up or they send someone over to train the 12 yo putting them together

[bossmang]

it just sh*ts me to tears, ford cost themselves sooo much money in warranty repairs because they cheap out on something that is clearly sh*t! eg diffs and the bushes.

I compared my FG Ute rear end to an XF Rear end, and I must say there is not a whole lot of difference in design under there, apart from the obvious brakes etc etc... but f*ck sake ford, maybe just a little bit of change in a 100 years cant be that hard!

Update : Waiting for rear end number 3 to be sent from Dana ... Hopefully this one is better than the first 2

My Axles chirp as well when going over slight bumps, spoke to ford about it once and had to end up shelling out $800 for new axles.

Same problem has arrised again.

Do you think that I could Demand Replacements under warranty ?

Its an imbarrasment when you are driving!

Maybe its my Aftermarket air filter and Exhaust which is causing it.... lol

ive had 2 p/s pumps and 2 axles and bearings replace in my fg ute 31000 on the clock, p/s issue is the fluid gets to hot and boils

Rear end number 3 has gone into mine, and while much better than number is still a little whiny on deceleration.

Apparently a new type of power steering pump is being used on the mk2's
