Hello. I'm an idiot when it comes to vehicle repairs. I have a mechanic I trust for the most part and he told me that my "front left inner tie rod" is loose/broken/whatever and that it is due to a "hole in the boot". He said he would replace the boot and tie rod but his schedule is just too busy...

I've always loved winter, and I still do. But I must say, as much as I wish we had more snow, I also wish the dirty, gloomy winter weather we have right now would move out and make way for spring. The Trac is filthy and I haven't seen it washed and waxed and sparkling since fall. :(

Yeah, that's why I didn't go back to the Ford Dealership. First of all because they've all been dicks everytime we've gone in there. (The Ford Dealership near me just has a bad rap anyway.) and I didn't want them doing anything else. I was told by my mechanic the best I could hope for is a brake...

2004 ST with 26k miles on it here. A couple weeks ago we started hearing a horrible squeeling when applying the brakes. Took it to the Ford Dealership, they checked the brakes and said they looked like brand new, very little wear at all. Said it was just a dry spot or something on the pads, not...

I am still debating the extended warranties myself, but one viewpoint I have considered recently is this: If X warranty costs $1200 let's say. Realize then, that basically the warranteur is in this for a profit, so they are essentially saying "On average, you will spend less than $1200 in...

I bought my 303 at a boat marina.

1. I wish the doors all auto-unlocked when you put it in park or pull the driver door handle, just like they lock when you put it in drive. Owned the Trac for 6 months now, and every day I "still" pull into a parking space, park, get out, go to open the backseat door and it's locked. Always...

Man I have to wonder why like 90% of the people selling extenders or tonneaus never have the hardware. What do people do just throw important hardware into the garbage? Or am I the only one that, like, tapes screws and bolts to a desk or whatever to the leg when not in use?

Gross. Why do all the new vehicles look like melted candlewax?

Where is the best place to buy Monroes to get them cheaply and with the buy-one-get-one-free deal?

Thank you for all the input, though no one seemed to address the warranty point. Are the shocks being bad at 22k covered under warranty? I agree that maybe different tires and shocks would be a much better ride and stability, but I like "free". If they'll warranty them Ill take the free ones...

Bought our 04 ST with 14k on it. Rotated the tires at 15k and 22k. This last rotate the guy at the Fod dealership pointed out some uneven wear on the inside of the [now] front passenger side tire. He attributed it to "the previous owner didn't rotate the tires from 1-14k miles". Being a vehicle...

Okay, over on the left side of the dash (04' ST) by the gas gauge, a little hair is on the gauge. Probably a dog hair from our Sheltie. Annoying. What do I need to do to get the plastic window in front of the gauges out of the way to get to that hair?

Interior shots? ever?

Will any production version of the 07 ST have 4 buckets like the prototype Adrenalin I saw?
