UPDATE.

Due to Component Shortages Ford is Using 3 vendors to Manufacture the 06 Brake Calipers. Due to Production Variances the calipers have Different Design Tolerances. So wheels that Barely fit on one Car may not clear on another. This could also cause a problem in the Future IF the 05 caliper Part Number Superceeds to an 06 Part Number. So If you had a Tight Fitting Wheel on your 05 and had to use a Replacement Caliper in may not clear. FYI I will post if any further Info is available.

Curious if you could find and or list the 3 different venders that Ford is using and or how common and how many cars are effected by this?
