Hey,

Go to dealer, Let dealer order TSB washer fix for clunk. Buy herbs washers.

Go back to dealer and let them perform TSB fix , but ask them to install Herb's washers for you, instead of Fords washer fix, Ford fix doesn't last long.. They have to provide you with the cam bolts after they perform the TSB warranty fix.

So you get a free alignment, free cam bolts installed, and they install your Herbs washers for free also.

All your out is $50.00 bucks to Herb and they do all the work for free.

Sorry, I don't remember the TSB number.

There are two clunks. One is the washer, one is the steering stops. Get the washer fix, lub the steering stops, no more clunks.

what are the cam bolts for? does ford put those on when they install herbs washers? are most dealers aware of this problem or if i took mine in tomorrow with herbs washers would they say "HUH, what dem washers for?". how do i present this problem when I go in to dealer and not get charged for it.
