    Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)

    Good news. Here's what to look for: Go to rear of vehicle and look underneath it. Here's the pic of the one bolt on the Left and the missing second bolt to its right.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    We have 3, right? ;) Comapred to your Platinum I would say the ST accelerates better but not "spectacularly" better. Enjoy your ride!

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    I understand. Either FORD is reneging on their official recall or the dealer doesn't know what they're doing. Those are the only two options. Keep us informed.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Confusing is right! The official FORD recall states just an e-brake flash and nothing else.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    How is the salesperson coming up with that when every document from FORD's official recall is to the contrary? (e-brake flash only) Something doesn't sound right ...

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    @PlatinumST Talk about tires, I wasn't all that happy about getting the 20" tires/rims instead of the optional 21" ones (local dealers were overcharging for ST's with the latter). But when I went and checked out prices at the Tire Rack, I see the 20" tires run about $100 less each than the...

    NEW Product Alert! The AWR Racing rear diff mount

    If a new diff cover/bushing/ bolt were not hugely expensive, I'd consider having them installed at some point down the line. That's what has me scratching my head. One tenth of one percent (0.1%) of reported breaks is an infinitesimally small number. Even a full one percent (1.0%) would mean...

    What? How in the heck is that possible?

    You're here as a friend, and you should be treated as such. You chose a slightly different path than the rest of us on this forum, but that's okay. We look forward to seeing how your build works out.(y)

    I understand, we all wish we had the 4 bolt!

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    Now that I own one and are looking for them, I have seen a few. But certainly not a "staggering" amount. Lol

    NEW Product Alert! The AWR Racing rear diff mount

    Set up a camera or offer a friend a beer and some pizza to film your install. ;)

    NEW Product Alert! The AWR Racing rear diff mount

    Crank it hard, then giving it another 1/4 turn works for most shade tree mechanics! Lol

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    It's like you only follow your own posts and nobody else's. He was also talking about "resale" values, so obviously cost is also a concern. Berating comments like yours that ST's are "a dime a dozen" are themselves a dime a dozen. To even say that the number of ST's you see are "staggering"...

    Iconic Silver is here.

    Great news! Wish my iconic silver had the 21" wheel package, but in my area those that did were fully loaded and dealers were asking $3k over sticker for them. So I settled for the 20" wheels and paid sticker. Post more pics once you get it.(y)

    NEW Product Alert! The AWR Racing rear diff mount

    Maybe they'll notice, and maybe they won't. Regardless, it's still not even close to being so obvious as seeing additional holes drilled in the subframe.
