Interesting stuff following this thread.

I'm not familiar with an OASIS report.

Help?

OASIS is the Ford vehicle tracking system. It has all the work ever done by a Ford dealer. It also has base info such as production and warranty start dates.

Pm me the VIN. I can pull an OASIS for you.

I pm'd you but not sure if it went through as I cannot see a sent pm in my mailboxes.

Sure, how about $75 to start :)

The OASIS report is a wealth of information. You specifically want to look to see if the axle bolt work was done.

There were two versions. One was on top of the other, so you want #2. Mine was done in May 2008 and I'm told it was the second. Look for "07B49 - Shaft Flange Bolts and washer replacement".

If you haven't had it done then you should proactively seek it out. There is an aftermarket kit - someone can pipe in to where - that is probably cheaper than the Ford one. It's a moderate DIY job if you are a wrencher and have the big TORX screw wrench and a proper torque wrench. If not just take the aftermarket bolts to a good shop.

Even without warranty you are in for the ride of your life!!!! I say hi to my little girl every time I walk through the garage. Can't wait until May when the roads might finally be clear. They have done a lot of good work on the roads after the flood and I'm confident I can at least get out east. Mountain roads are toast for a couple of years.

I actually have the parts for the fix that came with the car. I will do a little research to see if this is the #1 or 2 fix. Thanks
