I ordered the third-party rear control arm adjustable with a range of ±3 degrees. Took it to a non-Ford repair facility with an alignment machine. Their inspection revealed nothing wrong with the rear end, and the third-party rear control arm was not necessary. My issue is actually loose-worn...

Hah on my 21 First Edition I started having same problem leaking in my garage when I fill it. The next day blue puddle and low fluid warning light on.

Magna Flow has one for $800-$900 fits a little tighter inside space and all OEM hangers.

Thanks for this information it’s perfect!

The 1.5 lift was factory installed.

I have 34000 miles on my BS FE. To it to dealer for alignment. No potholes or curb strikes. Dealer said vehicle was out of spec camber and toe. BS does not have adjustability to factory spec. Escape platform does but not BS. Service Manager said I could look for third party parts but Ford has...

The 2012 Escape a similar platform as present BS was Hybrid and battery was in spare tire storage area.

Glad you were given a loaner. At 16000 miles my 21 First Edition had to have the AC compressor replaced because it shut the vehicle down on the freeway 50 miles from home. It took over a month to repair. The loaner made the experience more tolerable because a rental would have been expensive and...

Sorry your having trouble with your bolts Mine kept coming loose. A couple times the torx bolts were so loose a carwash ripped the front one off. I had the off-road version bars. Not suitable torx head on bolts kept stripping not good for carrying anything safely. I trashed mine and bought bars...

I have a 21 FE and two weeks ago I was able to get 32 MPG on cruise at 65 MPH. While driving my 21 FE 2.0 I recently obtained 32 MPG on a Highway trip doing 65 on cruise.

I had this issue and it took the dealer over a year to fix it properly. They tried to BS me saying the CPU is programmed to operate within a certain temperature parameter setting but never explained what temp was. After my last warning I was going to complain to corporate they evacuated the...
