Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Steering Wheel Knuckle Wear / Tie Rod End Rocking Back And Forth
I have a 2000 Ford F-250 that I have just replaced the tie rod ends on both wheels. The hole where the tie rod attaches to the right steering knuckle getting wallowed out? When I turn the wheel I can see the tie rod end rocking back and forth.
Now if I keep tightening it down it would pull it down past the cotter pin hole exposing way more threads than any to the other tie rod ends. I've searched everywhere and can't find anything that refers to this problem.

Basically I feel like my 2013 F sport is rocking back and forth in rough roads. Also the back end feels like it's sliding around. Is this normal for an fsport? I took to dealership and they said it was normal but I can't trust those guys. They gave me an es as a loner and that thing was really smooth.
I have a 2013 gs350 fsport with factory rim and Michelin pilots sports. About 50% tread life left. The tire pressure is around 35 - 38 depending on temps. Should I take to another dealership for a second opinion?
Ford Excursion :: 2000 - 4WD Won't Engage?
I have a 2000 excursion v10 with 66k miles on it. This past weekend i went to engage my 4wd and it would not work. the light on the dash is on and i think i heard a click but no luck. A buddy told me to tap the transfer case motor with a hammer but am a little skeptical. another friend told me to check the vacuum switch with the vent/ defroster but i am not sure that holds true with my yr/model (i did a test where i left the vent setting on face/feet then turned on the 4wd. the airflow seemed to remain as set). About a year ago i removed, regreased and repacked my front hubs.

I am a new manual 4wd system. i have a 02 excursion. i have tried to turn my hubs but they don't seem to move. i am unsure how to engage the system.
Should I put the hubs in the lock then put it in 4 wheels hi or low or the other way ....
Now from reading some of the forums it may sound like my locking hubs may be frozen and need replacing ....
Any good set of locking hubs and can i rebuild my sock ones for spares. its there a step by step on how to replace the locking hubs ....

View 8 RepliesFord Excursion :: 2001 EX 4x4 Works In 4Hi / Won't Engage To 4Lo
The Transfer case motor works fine changing from 2H to 4H and back to 2H. Verified the drive shaft is locked in 4wd. Drive shaft is free when switching back to 2H. Hubs work fine and no problems on the vacuum side. Garage is 50+ degrees.
Very occasionally I can get into 4 Lo. (Neutral - complete stop - brake pedal depressed). My main question is could the Transfer case motor be bad if it works in and out of 4H with no problem? I have not seen any answer to this question from my searching. Also, could the dash switch be going? Last summer this started and now seems to be getting worse. This weekend I could only get into 4L one time. Where to start checking (motor on transfer case or dash switch or other)?
I have tried rolling slowly, backing up etc... Problem is I can easily hear the motor work when going to 4H and going to 4Lo (when it is working) most times when it is switched to 4Lo, there is complete silence like there is no power to the motor at all. Tapping the motor does not work. I pulled the electrical connectors off the motor and all pins on both plugs look clean and new.
Thought to first check the dash switch but not sure how to check it. The motor could be also a problem? Is there a way to remove the motor and check it?
I want to get this fixed by the spring since I use 4Lo every weekend when launching the boat. (Never has been deep enough in the water to get close to the Transfer case)..
Ford Excursion :: 4x4 - Transfer Case Does Not Engage
Looking at another Ex but the owner says the transfer case does not engage. Says it can be locked into 4X4 by crawling under it and engaging it manually by removing a motor [Servo motor ?] Does this mean I would need a new transfer case or just the servo motor ? I know mine did the same thing last winter. It would go into 4X4 and then pop out.
View 10 RepliesFord Excursion :: 2011 6.0 PSD Fails To Engage 4x4
I have a 2005 Excursion with 6.0 PSD just turned 80,000 miles. About a year ago, the vacuum hubs on the ESOF system became intermittent, so I changed then out with WARN manual hubs, which proved to be 100% reliable. Today, I got in the truck to move it, and engaged 4x4 High, as it had snowed last night and my inclined driveway was slippery. The hubs are locked, I get a lighted "4x4" idiot light on the dash, but the front wheels are not providing any drive power at all. I can hear the transfer case shift motor moving the gears, and if I select Low Range, the transfer case does change over to Low, but still no drive coming from the front wheels. I'm under the impression that the only things left to fail would be for the propeller shaft to be lying on the ground (it's not), the differential is not working, or something is wrong with the spindle shafts. Nothing has happened to the truck, and I have not heard any strange noises. I parked it 3 days ago, and everything, including four wheel drive, worked fine at that time. What may be going on here?

I bought a 2001 Excursion Ltd 4 years ago. A previous owner put Warn Premium hubs on it, which I would have eventually done myself.
I got stuck a couple of weeks ago and tried to use my 4wd. Nothing.
A friend suggested I replace the Transfer Case Motor as it can go out if you don't use it. I got that done today but I still don't have 4wd.
I can hear the transfer case shift and see the drive shaft spinning, but the front tires don't spin.
I thought it was the PVH solenoid, but discovered the Warn locking hubs don't use the vacuum and it has been disconnected/plugged.
Ford Excursion :: Transmission Will Occasionally Hesitate To Engage Drive From Park
Just a little background, my Ex is a 2000 V10 4x4 with 217,000 miles. I've owned it for a little under a year. Very clean truck, and well maintained by previous owner. Now the issue. Starting about a month after I bought it, it would occasionally hesitate to engage drive from park. I checked fluid and it was full and clean. I had a buddy recommended that I check for chafed wires in the steering column which I did and found nothing. It seemed to get better for a while but now it's back. It's doing it more than half the time I put it in drive and sometimes takes 10-15 seconds to engage. So am I probably looking at a new trans? Or, is there anything that can be done to save the old trans?

Monday I started my truck after leaving it in the garage while on a 8 day vacation. Shifting into reverse led to almost no movement at all. After a few seconds, I shifted back into park and then reverse again and got a solid reverse right away. I may have noticed sluggish shifting into reverse previously, but not this noticeable. What could be the culprit?

Ford Excursion :: 2000 Will Not Roll Backwards - Some Hesitation To Engage Each Gear?
I have a 2000 Excursion 7.3 4x4 with 237k miles on the original 4R100. Yesterday afternoon I went to back out of a parking space and the truck wouldn't move. When I put it in R, the transmission will engage and upon pressing the gas pedal it acts like it wants to move but will not budge. It rolls forward with no issue or noise. It will not roll backwards at all - not in neutral and not in reverse. The transmission shifts fine but with some hesitation to engage each gear. I have noticed some slippage but nothing crazy.
I 1st thought something might be wrong with the rear end but after some research I think it might be the transmission.
Ford Excursion :: Alarm Won't Engage When Leave A Window Rolled Down And Open Any Door
Everything I've seen in the forum refers to alarms activating and how to turn them off, my problem is the opposite. Last year I performed a simple injector cup procedure on my 2000 7.3 Excursion which took about 3 months, during which time I had my batteries removed. When I finally buttoned everything back up I noticed that my alarm does the "chirp", but that I can leave a window rolled down and open any door without it going off. How to get this to reset? I can hit the panic button and get the alarm, but as a security feature it's not working.

My Excursion is having an issue with the 4x4 system. The. 4x4 selector switch on dash lights up properly for 4x4, but the auto hubs don't actually engage. The hubs will lock only if I manually lock the hubs. I can hear relay click, so I don't think its electrical. The hubs had new o rings installed when I did front ball joints a few thousand miles ago, and the 4x4 worked fine up until today.

The other day my transmission was driving fine, until I stopped to let someone out. When I tried to throw it back into gear, it wouldn't engage at all, just had a slight grind almost like the sound of a chain coming off a bike (so I pushed back in the clutch and parked it). I haven't been having any issues with it nor have I been driving it hard.
View 2 RepliesFord - Explorer :: 2000 - Loss Of Power - Truck Is Rocking Side To Side When Driving
So after getting home last night and having a lot of trouble backing into the driveway, having a serious loss of power, I take it out today and find that the truck is rocking from side to side as I drive, a bit like a boat in rough water. Further, I wasn't able to get much power out of it, capping about 20mph/30kph. Reversing produced some ugly grinding or scraping noises. The steering wheel swung very quickly back to its neutral position after turning, and I've noticed a strip on the road near the driveway where I apparently spun one of the tires trying to back in. Some quick searching says it could be a wheel bearing, an axle problem or suspension-related.
View 1 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Clicking Sound When Rocking The Steering Wheel
I have a 2000 MK4 Jetta GLS that's had a clicking noise in one spot whenever I rock the steering wheel left-to-right or right-to-left. It's noticeable while stopped or at low-speed and seems to be in one particular "sweet spot." I've had the tie rod ends changed, with no improvement. It seems obvious that it's some kind of linkage or joint that's worn out, but I'm just not familiar enough with the steering system on these cars to know where to look. I thought maybe a bad CV joint, but they usually click when the wheels are turning, not when the steering wheel is being rotated, and they don't usually go on clicking for a year without wearing out.
