Sometimes "arm chair quaterbacking" actually works lol. At least when it comes to problems that seem to be common. For instance, I was having pretty bad vibrations coming from my driver side footwell. Research into the problem showed me the likely culprit was the CV axle. Ended up being exactly...
The lurching happens to me too but very randomly. No way the dealer would be able to replicate it and diagnose. It's very subtle so it hasn't caused me any big problems so I'm not too worried about it. If it gets worse I'll bring it up to my dealer.
Below are my old CV axle and the new one. The base part number is the same but the number underneath it is different between them. Top is old. Bottom is new.
I just got my truck back getting the driver side CV axle replaced on my MY22 Hybrid. Dropped it off last night, and they had the part to fix it and replaced it this morning. I must have gotten really lucky hearing some people are waiting weeks for theirs to come in.
Remains to be figured out. The 2025 uses a new transmission so it's possible the insert points are different. Someone will have to receive their 2025 and remove the CV axle for us to know. Or call around to different Ford dealerships and ask their maintenance departments until you get an answer.
Got word back from my friend. His cousin told him that the new 2025 axles are indeed different from the previous years. Unfortunately he was unable to get a part number.
Found a way to remove the unnecessary terminals from the pigtail without any special tool. Just take the black and red caps off then use a pick or small screwdriver to push the terminal outboard and push up on the wire. They come right out.
Ah ok. I ended up getting 40 feet of 18 gauge wire from Autozone. Unfortunately it's all black so I got some colored electrical tape to mark them to whatever I need to make things organized somewhat.
I have a friend who has a cousin that works at the factory in Mexico. He didn't guarantee an answer but he will look into getting a part number of the 2025 hybrid axles.
I got the first step done for my project. Installed the steering wheel buttons. Getting the wheel off was easy. It was a bit of a challenge to get the faceplate off to get access to the switch.
