Does someone have a copy they can share?

 

From http://www.escape-central.com/1forum...4&pagenumber=3

"The TSB simply calls for enlarging the mounting hole in the body sheetmetal slightly, then installing a revised upper shock bushing."

I wonder when the parts will be available. I left a message for my service manager so we shall see. If it isn't ready soon I'm going to need a Psychiatrist....

 

My advisor called me back. He is going to talk to his service manager first to make sure, but he said it doesn't look like anything complicated. I'll be in there ASAP once they tell me they are ready.

 

I love this site! Keeps me informed in case mine develops this squeek! Thanks All!

 

Advisor called me again this morning (This guy is always on top of things for me which I appreciate). All of the service and parts managers were offsite today at a conference/meeting so he couldn't get an answer. He basically just needs to talk to the parts manager about the replacement bushing to see if it is something they stock or if it needs to be ordered and if it is available. Hopefully they are able to use a stock bushing from one of the other vehicles as that would make alot more sense then trying to engineer a new part.....especially since it is a warranty replacement part! Looks like I won't hear anything until monday.

 

I also have a squeaking noise in the rear of my Escape 4WD, sounds like the shocks. I can replicate it quite well by just pushing up and down on the rear bumper to rock the car. Sounds like an aold spring matress in use....The car has about 4.5k miles on it and it started a couple of thousand miles ago. Haven't had time to take it in, but maybe it is good I waited until they have a fix.

 

Service writer called me today. The bushings are on backorder 1-2 weeks. He'll call me when they are in.

 

Are you guys ready for your Story of the Week?

I took mine in Wed because of the constant left-side creaking. Mostly low-speed, especially when turning and from a dead stop or braking. They called yesterday morning, said we don't hear it, come in and we'll ride with you. Cool. I get there, pile a couple of techs in, and confidently drive off, and... nothing. Not a peep, not a squeak, not a creak. I tried everything. :roll eyes: I looked at the receipt, and it said they didn't do anything at all to it. Yeh right... I had given them the new TSB number, but I doubt they had what they needed to do it. They obviously fixed SOMETHING, but I have no idea what. They'd already tried the re-centering thing and that didn't help.

So mine is happy right now. Hope everyone else's problems get fixed too!

 

I've noticed when it's cold outside it happens less.

 

Don't hold your breath. It will be back....
