I replaced mine about 4 months ago and my dealer had to order them from some 3'rd party company that buys up all of these kinds of parts. At the time, the place they ordered them from said they only had 11 of them left on their shelf.
It makes me pretty angry that Ford would do this... I don't see any aftermarket company stepping up to manufacture these parts either. Face it, we bought a "dinosaur" as far as most of this country is concerned...
When I get the irritating "clunking" again someday (and it will return), the Ex is gone. I love it, but I'm already scrounging for specialty parts, it will only get worse as the years roll on.
I wish you luck in finding these parts my friend. If you find a "home-brew" fix that actually works (there have been a few, but they don't really work) PLEASE share it with us.
Wouldn't that let them off the hook in 2015 not 2014
10 model years, not calendar years and even then it seems to be hit or miss. Unless someone wanted to bring the issue up in court, I doubt us regular consumers are going to have much luck, especially if the part is available at a dealer somewhere in the county. They start in the 3rd quarter so its pretty close, but yeah not quite there yet since the last 2005 was sold 9/30/05.
I have at least 4 mounts that are smashed and cracked. I ended up buying a POLY kit for the F250 but haven't attempted the install yet. From what I remember from my research a few months ago, the front 3(per side) are the same for the Excursions... so the backs are different than the F250's. And I want to say that the Ex has one more per side.
