I have been talking to my Dealer Tech Service Manager and we have developed a good relationship concerning the above bolt issues. Apparently my GT is mid 06 build and I have had assurances that I have the new washers and bolts. His concern is whether anyone has or knows of a failure with the new replacement axle flange bolts and hardened washers?

He has called Ford but no one has any information on any failures with the replacement parts. If anyone in the GT Forum Community knows of a failure of the new bolts and washers, please post. To date I am not aware of one.

I remember abolfaz??? has had two replacements? Would appreciate any details on that experience.

They only replaced one side the first time, then failure on the second side, so had to be fixed twice.

Well I guess that really doesn't qualify as a true failure of the replacement bolts. What year is your GT?

So far, no one seems to have information on any of the new replacement parts failing. This is good news!
