Hello all.  I'm not sure what to do here.  Whenever I'm in reverse and turning the wheel (out of a parking spot), my car jolts hard.  Almost as if there is a chunk loose and its breaking through the gears.  Other than that, no issues.  Are there any options out there for a fix?  Is the unit sealed? Replace the diff? I love the car (2017 Lincoln MKZ 3.0 AWD) but unsure how to proceed forward. Roughly about 140k on it now.   Any info or ideas or fixes would be greatly appreciated here.     Thank you.

were these replaced with motorcraft

I just got a 2017 with 72k and my transmission shifts hard from 1 to 2. I think its slipping or something..  to the shop I go 😞

What nuts are you talking about? There is one nut that holds the shock to the upper mount and the upper mount has two bolts that go into the frame. There are two bolts that go into the lower mount of the shock absorber so I cannot tell what nuts need to be welded back in place

Just wondering what motivated the shock change. I hear clunking coming from the rear shocks or at least that area. I have already replaced the upper housing and thought that that fixed the problem but it did not. Any way to test these shocks to see if the electrical portion of it is working

EVAP System Components   Bear with me I am still an apprentice; I have done so much research my brain is having an aneurism. I will start from the sign's, symptoms, then to the codes and what I have come to think myself. First issue that arose was when I filled the tank the pump would stop VERY frequently like every dollar, and when I would go to push in the filler neck into the tank pressure would auditably spew out, which made me think a tank vent valve was bad, but I was told I was wrong and ignored it. Then check engine light came on and shortly after that the engine seemed to be having hard start and shut down, when the car switches from hybrid to electric as well there is a rough shutdown on the engine side. After running an OBD II system check two codes appeared, P2451 and P0451  listed as "Permanent".  I have researched the Schematics, layout and parts and cannot figure out how to repair this issue. I'm asking myself is there one that's causing the other? Is there an issue I am missing causing these both? What other test am I missing that may give me my answer?

Hi rowenhuggins and welcome to the Lincoln MKZ Forum. No. Unfortunately, it is not a realistically feasible modification/swap.   Good luck.

Hi Joe Grimes and welcome to the Lincoln MKZ Forum. If I remember correctly: Remove the fill plug from the rear differential, then stick a finger the fill hole in to ensure the fluid is filled to the bottom of the plug hole.   If my memory is incorrect, I am sure someone will jump in with the correct information.    Let us know how you make out and good luck.

How do I check the rear differential oil level on my 2020 Lincoln MKZ 2.0 turbo AWD?

I have a 2012 Lincoln mkz all wheel drive base model 3.5 engine, is my drive shaft rear a two piece or a three piece & can it be replaced with a one piece?
