    Squeak in turns

    Hey everyone, I have a 2001 4x4 ST with 131k on it. I'm having an issue with a squeak when I turn and accelerate. I have replaced everything (literally almost everything, except CV joints) in the front suspension so i am at a loss. I noticed it after i changed the power steering fluid, but to me...

    Heat Only Works When Accelerating

    I have an 01 4x4 ST, 122,000 on it and my heat only works when I am accelerating. When I am idling it will just blow cold air. Ive had the problem for years now but it never bothered me to much to do anything about it. Im in NC so winter isn't so bad. I have looked all over the internet...

    O/D Light Flashing, No Fifth Gear

    Hey everyone, so I need some opinions on what this could be. Driving to work yesterday, I felt my 01 ST 4x4 shutter when going into fifth gear. It slipped out of fifth and my O/D light started flashing. The truck wouldn't go into fifth the entire drive. When I went out about an hour later, it...

    Noise From Rear End

    I have an 01 4x4 Sport trac with 110,000 miles on it and have recently noticed a clunking noise coming from the rear differential area (limited slip diff fyi). I decided to change the differential fluid to see if that would help and noticed my spider gears were all chew up. I replaced them and...

    Rough Shift/ Vibration

    I have a 4x4 01 ST with 109,000 miles on it. The transmission seems to be shifting rough. At about 40 mph when shifting into 4th gear there is a vibration in the gas pedal and under the floor then again when going into 5th. Occasionally (not always) the shift into 5th is delayed. The...

    Rough Shift

    I'm having a rough shift at about 45 mph in my 01 4x4. Its like it doesn't want to downshift. It will start to shift then hesitate before downshifting. After the downshift I can feel a vibration in the gas pedal. I had the transmission fluid and filter changed about 14k miles ago and changed the...

    Tire Size Torsion Twist

    Im doing a torsion twist on my 01 4x4 ST. Will 265/75/16 tires fit without any rubbing after the torsion twist or should i go smaller? I am only going to raise the front end up 1.5" and probably wont do shackles or anything to the rear as it is already a good 1.5" higher than the front end.

    Prothane Body Mounts

    I installed the prothane body mount kit a few months back and they clunk and rattle like crazy. I've had my ford dealer look over everything else that could cause this noise. They said everything looks fine and think its because of the polyurethane mounts. In the rain they hardly make any noise...

    Upper Control Arms

    Upper control arms/ball joints need replacing on 01 ST. For the upper front right, anyone know how well the MOOG CK80068 fit? Im asking because these are a 1 piece design replacement, where as the OE parts are a 2 piece design. I want to use the single piece design because the rubber where the...

    How To Replace Body Mounts

    I have a 2001 4x4 sport trac and have discovered that my body mounts under the cab are almost gone. I touched them and they totally crumbled. The dealership wants a crazy amount for parts alone. I have looked all over the place on how I can do this job myself but havent found any good answers...

    Rattling Noise Coming From Dash at 50+

    When I drive down the highway and turn the wheel just a little bit at around 50+, a rattling noise comes from the dash right behind all of the gauges. It happens with and without cruise control being on. It doesn't happen at lower speeds or when I turn the wheel to make a turn (90 degrees). Any...

    Bushings on front right

    I have a bad bushing somewhere on the front left of my 01 ST. It makes a pop when hitting small bumps but goes away when the car heats up. My mechanic thinks its a bad bushing because everything looks good mechanically. Its not the bushing from the tie rods, shocks, or sway bar links because...

    popping coming from left front

    I have an 01 ST with 81000 on it. When I hit a small bump in the road there is a low pop noise. It doesnt make the noise when going over speed bump or large bumps, its almost inconsistent. There is cupping and alignment wear on the front right tire (opposite the popping). I just replaced the...

    Shaking on highway

    My 01 sport trac shakes going down the highway at speeds around 60+. I have had the tires balanced, aligned, and replaced the front and rear shock. The tires dont have uneven tread and and my mechanic said the rest of my suspension looks good. I have no idea what is wrong its really annoying me...
