Iāve noticed the HVAC does whatever it wants tbh, regardless of what iāve set it at. On my prior base model it never listened. On my 2dr big bend with auto i leave it on auto because i hate fighting it.
FWIW, I have them on our wifeās Bronco Sport and I will agree after around 30-35k they become squirrelly to drive. I think theyāre still better than the Goodyears.
i recommend a hanger tool for the rubber bushings, but otherwise you should be in and out within an hour or so. PB blast the nuts now if youāre super cautious and let it penetrate the grime out.
I think having more power and torque is nice š¤·š¼āāļø The 2.3 is not stressed with extra boost and more fuel, its been around for over 10 years in the Focus RS platform making 450/450 reliably. the NEW MPC motor is to be seen but I dont seen why it wont have the similar record.
