I've been having issues with my 14PP where tune or non tune the trans will have a harsh clunking downshift; The issue escalated recently where now I have wacky wheel and it pulls left or right depending on road condition's and following this the front tires seem to be loosing tread at an escalated rate. Backing up from a parking spot(worse on hills, or french drain driveway) the car will jolt as if the car hit something and you can hear a loud bang in the front and rear end.
After taking this car to its 3rd dealer(every single one giving me issues so far) they blamed this on the pop ting tsb for the front axle nuts. I told them this is a issue with the driveline around the PTU. I had to come in and demonstrate this to the mechanic and he explained it may be tires, I asked him to check for bad mounts or play in the diff/ptu/driveshaft; He turned the driveshaft almost more than a 1/4 turn and it makes a loud binding sound in the ptu(he said it was 'normal') The dealer then checked the tire tread improperly(From the wearbars) saying my back tires are bald, and that the front tires aren't even with the rears(Caused by this drive-line problem, and that I need to replace them before they do any more diagnosis) I threw a fit and told them to write down ford's customer service number for me and ill ask them if this is correct. A friend of mine got under the car and discovered that the entire driveline has excessive play with the e-brake on and going between drive and reverse, The transmission moves the entire driveshaft up an inch and the rear diff also binds with this..
My question is, are there common mounts failing on these transmissions that would cause it? or maybe its both a mount and the ptu going bad at the same time..
