03 Grinding Noise Question

All,

On a 2003 4x4 5.4,

What is the TSB that references the grinding noise, that appears to be coming from the front end, when making slow speed turns?

Is this the one that turns out to be a problem with the rear diff?

I am beginning to notice this and would like to mention it to my service manager...thanks!

On my non-4x4 03 EB, the wheel contacts the fender on really sharp turns.

Bad design.

There is a Tech service bulletin on this problem

I think it is TSB # 16070

It is a common problem fixed under warrenty.

NBX vs FX4 diffs?

bigdmizer,

Do you know of any differences between an '03 FX4 and an '04 NBX? Just curious what might have caused the name change...

Marketing

The NBX= No Boundries eXpedition.

Just a different marketing campaign as far as I can tell. There are few changes due to Model year. But thats just details, All the components are the same.
