So....the past few weeks the car has had a groan sound to it. I keep asking my wife and friends that ride with me "can you hear that?" they all said no. I thought maybe it was me....

Today driving to the office its growling LOUD....when I hit the gas it sounds horrible and with speed it gets louder.

So....rewind to the installation of my 3.73's. I have my buddy do them cause I didn't have time and told him to check the axles closely for wear because of the TSB. Well he said they were fine. I call him today and there was a moment of silence on the phone "oh...ya...forgot to tell ya they were getting pretty deep grooves in them, I even took pics but forgot to get back with you about them" ****!!!!!!!!

Oh well I can't get mad he's a good friend.

So. With this being said. I'm gona take it up to the dealership I have good connections with. Is this covered under the ESP? I've got the 75k/6year package and I need to get what the TSB number itself is so I can call my friend there with it and he can get the parts ordered.

Thanks guys.

Okay I gave the TSB Number that I found in another post to my buddy but he says it only includes bearings. Does that kit also include axles? He said he thinks that kit comes with bearings that are oversized then the axles are sleeved.

Let me know. thanks guys...

Kit includes 2 shafts, ale bearings and seals + 3 bottles of 75-140W fluid AND a metal tag that says "Synthetic Fluid only". Friction modifier is extra and required.

If it is FORD ESP it should be covered minus your deductable if any. They should fix it no questions asked.
