I believe this is the thread. I could be wrong.
This video only showed slop in the suspension/diff bushings, not anything about the halfshafts that I saw...is there another video somewhere or did you just mis-type half-shafts and really you meant the bushings?
No you were right, they're talking about the CV axles (same as half-shafts). I'm willing to bet this is the problem I'm having with the thud noise...and many others are noticing this too. I don't notice it when sitting still, just when shifting while moving. Either that or some driveshaft play, but as the guy noted on that thread they already have an aftermarket driveshaft on there. If Ford won't fix this, I'm curious to see what aftermarket parts do fix it. Mine isn't setup for any crazy racing but I'd be willing to upgrade if it meant no more thud!
You'd have to take it in, and probably reference the TSB to get them to find the issue as I've noticed not all dealers actually look up TSBs when you tell them you are having a specific issue. Technically, they'd only have to diagnose it and see if the TSB applies (either by build date or by actually inspecting the suspected parts), but if you complain enough I'm sure most dealerships won't mind doing it since they make money off warranty work from Ford.
Awesome. I figured that's how it works but wanted to make sure I fully understood it. Getting my exhaust replaced due to a horrible rattle from a component inside it, and probably getting the clutch assembly replaced because the car doesn't like to go into 3rd or 5th gear (that's what the tech said they'd replace). If I can get this thud to go away that'd be awesome. Then I'll be set for the supercharger install. :cheers:
