Removal of Diff brace for rear axel bolt recall?
- Thread starter paSTa
- Start date
I just had mine done. Left brace on. Everything reinstalled correctly. That being said, one of my best friends owns the dealership so I could potentially be getting preferential treatment. Your mileage may vary.
Also- the video of on here of the bushing change etc that is posted where the subframe was fully removed etc is not how ford is doing it. They are unbolting the diff and dropping it down a bit and then doing the bushing. Nothing is actually coming off of the vehicle.

Picked up car and both recalls were completed in one day. The rear bushing and the rear camera recall. Thermal exhaust never touched. Truck came back as clean as it went in. Now to add the diff mount back for piece of mind. Al Packer Ford west in west Palm beach did the work. Very satisfied with the work but still a bit disappointed in Ford that the correct subframe for my VIN was not installed in Chicago.

FYI, got this done last week was a 1 day turn around and no issues whatsoever. They also completely replaced my rear view camera unit which seems to have gotten rid of the blue screen that was happening on occasion. Happy Ford was able to do the work with the car being modified!
I removed my brace before taking in for recall but that doesn't guarantee they still can't screw things up and forget to re-fill your rear diff with fluid

For whatever reason it was in the service order for recall repair!
I can tell you that the Billings Dealership Archie Cochrane Ford is gotta be one of the worst service centers in the country. Picked it up on Saturday and they caved in my frame rails as they didn't use the factory lift points, warranty items not completed, greasy handprints all over the interior, and gouge in my front Waido spoiler. That's just what I found with a quick walk around. Will see what else I find when able to get it up on my lift. Hell, maybe it didn't need to be drained for all I know since they all seem to be morons.

That is unbelievable. The variation in quality throughout all organizations in this country is staggering. I asked the service manager to meet the tech that would be working on the vehicle. Super nice young man but gave him $50 and said it is the little things that make the biggest difference. Why do this? From my experience the old saying holds true. Money talks and BS walks. I would stay away from that dealer.
