How to tell if you have the updated front axle

[tic105]

Wondering if there's a way to tell if you have the updated front axle. Is there some measurement you can take - axle thickness or length?

AXLE...... What was the date of your vehicle build? I believe that will tell you what you have..

Whoops! Axle is is. It's a used 2024 a friend just bought and supposedly it had both front axles replaced.

May not answer your specific question, but FWIW, any replacements will be covered in the 60k drivetrain warranty. And all replacements are of the new, stronger design.

Thanks - appreciate the reply. My friend got a good deal as it was a relatively high mileage 2024 (40K) but well taken care of. So she’s concerned about this as she nears 60k. Hopefully someone who has done the replacement themselves might have made some comparisons.

Were they replaced before or after November 2024?
Is the part number on the service paperwork (or on the sticker on the axle itself) the most recent revision?

Had mine replaced on my 22, 18 months ago, had them replaced again 2 weeks ago, hopefully with the ne ones. Had to pay 500 for this replacement as they were no longer covered by the parts warranty

Is your friends Maverick and EB or Hybrid? As far as we know only the Hybrid has received an upgraded front axle, which only started to happen during the last few weeks of MY24 production in October last year.

Appreciate the link. No receipt as previous owner had it done and no way to contact them. Likewise we are not sure of the date of the replacement. I'll crawl under the front end and see if I can get a part number

I forgot to add that - it's the Ecoboost

No need to dig into then, no upgraded axles, unless they paid extra to get the ones meant for the Tremor. You'd have to look up part numbers to find out.

If these were replaced under warranty, any other dealer should be able to access the service records via the VIN#, and provide the information.
