#68 of 71 Strut Problem by thegraduate

Nov 06, 2012 (10:20 am)

My parents just spent $300 on the replacement strut. Their '08 Taurus had 47k miles on it. Two weeks later, the A/C Compressor had to be replaced at about $950. A bolt had sheared off or something like that, killing the compressor.

Disappointing after 4 years of good service.

I know this is a little late in the discussion, but I own a 2009 Taurus Limited. I have had the struts replaced, sway bars replaced, and the nuts tightened on the assemblies on several occaisions. The "clunk" goes away for awhile, but then always comes back in a few months.

I had the original dealer try to tell me it was normal. I really don't don't believe that at all.

Can you tell me what TSB # you are referring to? What is the fix the TSB recommends?

Thanks.

For the TSB fix refer to page 6 of this forum. I have not tried it, but sounds like the Fpord service people do not know how to fix the problem. Good luck!
