LCA ---
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but the mention of the LCA got me wondering. My 2012 GT has about 9K miles on it. I've notice it seems a bit squirly at low speeds on uneven pavement. Like there's a lot more tramlining going on than I would expect. My Corvette had wider tires and it didn't tramline nearly as bad as the GT. So, would a loose lower control arm cause that. The best way to describe it is kind of like the front end seems light and it kind of wandering around when it should be going in a straight line. Thanks for any info.

Please, make an appointment with your dealer as soon as possible. Then, PM me with your VIN, dealer, mileage, full name, and best daytime number so I can escalate this to the customer service manager for your area.

TSB 12-8-24 Replace LCAs and Hardware
CR3Z*3078
CR3Z*3079
Those are the two part numbers, the revisions are noted with either A, B or C, C being the most recent.
Example: *CR3Z*3078*C
The above example is the current revision of the left front LCA. It's listed as "Arm Assy - Front Suspension"
My issues did not get resolved until after BOTH LCAs were replaced with the C revisions. With the new LCAs my Ford dealer also replaced four bolts and three nuts.
*W710141*S439 - Bolt
*W709865*S439 - Bolt
*W710909*S439 - Bolt
*W711123*S439 - Bolt
*W520215*S440 - Nut (Hex)
*W520214*S440 - Nut
*W713882*S437 - Nut
They DID NOT do this (replace bolts and nuts) until the C revision came out. This is a TSB, you should have no problem getting a dealer to do this repair if your vehicle qualifies.
