Do SVT's Get "Special" Treatment ??
 

I was wondering if the SVT's Ford makes get special attention with regards to assembly, etc. ?

I installed the camber bolts today in my 04 L. The passenger side had 2 shims - the driver's side had NONE.

Strangely enough, the driver side wheel was toed-in 12* and the inside edge was quite worn.

Shouldn't there have been SOMETHING to keep the UCA bolt from moving around in those long slots ??

Just wondering what you all have seen with your L's....

They are made on the same line as the rest of the trucks and are made to the same standard...

If SVT special treatment equals

Thousands of Lightnings left the assy line with front ends that shift when you turn the steering wheel (mine does)

Thousands left with lose spark plugs (3 were lose on mine)

Windshield Gaskets they forgot to glue in (mine flew off in 2 wks)

Rear Window Gaskets not in place (mine fell off in a few wks )

Ground effects they forgot to tighten (I had to adjust and tighten)

Chassis bolts falling out and found in the driveway (I got a few)

Clunking and rattling windows (scares the schitt out of me $#*$)

Moldings they forgot to clip into place (I fixed my tail gate day 1)

OH YA, THEY GET THE "SPECIAL" TREATMENT ALL RIGHT :lol:


The Lightning is (IMO) the best Vehicle in the world, but as for Fords lack of double checking ANYTHING, or making anything tight,FU FORD :wave:

Rob ! Ask Sal to do his fix works great !

my dad works at the assembly plant in Oakville Ontario, and he said there are special techs thjat look after the Lightnings, thyew monitor and check all of the special modifications, but they are made on the same lineas the regular trucks

my one side of the ground effects were gonna fall of too
