SugarMouth, That's some thorough work! At least you've narrowed down the location. It's maddening that the source of the rattle remains elusive - for now. I've seen a set of "mechanic's microphones" which would be placed on various parts in the rear PS wheel area that should go a long way...

The J&L mounting bracket is anodized black so it decreases the bling factor of the clear-coated can. :D

I wonder if that joint needs (needed) seam sealer from the factory. Have you given that area (the wheel well, the panel on the well) the old light "palm strike"? Great detective work by you. Pretty frustrating to have a rattle on a low-mileage 2025. /edit/: Is there anything in those...

Dpratt202, No, no, I'm not saying Thermal R&D was involved other than making an excellent product that you, 202FordRaptor, and Gadgtfreek have installed and heartily recommend, making the pressure for me to conform (bordering on coercion!?) and put a Thermal on my ST is very hard to resist. :D

Thanks, Gadgtfreek, for the screenshot. I've never seen an update (well, we've only had the ST for 2.5 months) but I am hoping this one breaks our dry spell.

Dang, you guys all seem to be forcing me to spend more money! [cheers]

Jonquinn75, And another thing.... You might be able to reach the wobbly part once the wheel and wheel well liner are removed. Maybe there is a spring that has popped out of place, or, one side of the flat swing arm has popped out of the bracket.

Jonquinn75, Service Manual should help. Select "1. Body and Paint": then go to Body Enclosures (third bullet): then look through the three 'fuel filler door' links: The assembly tabs are hidden behind the weather shield and the instructions show cutting into four spots to allow a...

cpassmore1, Welcome, fellow STLer! Hope to see you zooming around the area.

looqw, Is there anything loose under the vehicle like the trans mount, differential bushing, diff bushing bolt, etc.? As recommended, ask Gearhead if a datalog would help him diagnose the problem. The datalog should focus on the transmission - shifts, temperature, pressure, slip along...

Black Label, I think forum member "iptaylm" and I got the same brand. That would be Autostop Eliminator (autostopeliminator.com) and I got the "no charging pad" version. //edit: Your Aviator ASE part: link for ASE for 2020 to 2024 Aviator end of edit// I am delighted with the device. I...

Doom Crew, Owner's Manual has two methods: Press the on/off button quickly 5 times, or, Hold the on/off button for 10 seconds. Try the first option since you tried the second option. Also, try doing this with the engine running (although just having the screen on (engine not running)...

iptaylm, Same as mine. That is the latest Android update. The infotainment system also updates from time to time. The only message I get when I try to update is "No updates in the last 90 days". I guess that's OK.

DSGR, Hair dryer will warm the tubing up enough to allow it to come off the fittings. FWIW, our ST had the blue fittings installed rather than the orange fittings. October '25 build date so maybe ours has "old" fittings on it? Suggest that you use an old hand towel to insulate the...

iptaylm, Maybe too late (Friday post vs. Monday reply). Push down on the 'button' that locks the plug tab in place. While depressing the button, wiggle the plug while pulling it out. It is held in place pretty good. (Once it is out, replugging and unplugging is easier for some reason.) Be...

spike5150, Glad to hear it wasn't terminal (sorry, could not miss the opportunity for a pun).

Cr45h0v3rr1de, The Service Manual shows a locator hole in the top of the strut plate and there is a little stub on the wedge that is supposed to fit into that locator hole. From the "Ford Explorer: Front Suspension - RWD / Disassembly and Assembly - Front Strut and Spring Assembly" section...

Caster, That's great news and I am glad the AutoStop stays in the state last set. Maybe some Ford employees keep tabs on the forums and see the overwhelming dislike for the AutoStop feature. Alas, my ST has "not updated in the last 90 days", according to status through the app and the...

No alert yet. A new message appears, "AutoStop off by pushbutton" (or something similar). So far, so good. If the Hill Assist Not Active alert pops up, I will just push the AS button and let it work for a few cycles, then turn it off again. I hope this will clear the alert without the need...

Now you're talking crazy talk! :LOL: Yes, Sir, that is a much better idea. And that option eliminates the risk of getting zapped (or setting the ST on fire) while poking around under the hood. [cheers]
