Title: Ford recall toelinks
Post by: avidmotion on November 07, 2020, 03:20:11 PM
Greetings All!
Hope all lived through the election...
I finally got my papers from Ford saying my 7 month backorder toelinks that were on recall is now in stock at Ford. I had new front struts and rear shocks put on. Now Ford wants to do toelinks. If Ford does the toelinks, do they/will they Have to do a wheel alignment(saving my expense to get done after changing struts and shocks?)
Any info helpful....

Went to Ford yesterday. They said they couldn't get my SHO in until 11/25. Left and went to the Lincoln dealership down the street, left it there last night and it should be done today. All the Lincoln guys were like....thats a Taurus? Lol.

Any updates? When they did the toelinks, did they do a wheel alignment?  I just had new front PP struts and rear PP shocks put on and need to get wheel alignment.  But if Ford has to do it when changing the toelinks, my cheap ass will wait....

There is No four wheel alignment included! Rear toe adjustment only AFAIK! Best of luck.  Z

Per the Lincoln service manager, the rear alignment is included with the toe link recall.  I would have to pay extra if the front needed to be aligned.  However, they did check the alignment of the front before and said it was fine.

So I got my SHO back from the Lincoln dealership.  Everything is in order, car feels good, and looks better with the rear alignment.  Remember I cut my H&R's as well, so there was a little negative camber on the rear driver side that annoyed me.  It is fixed now, so it's a win.
