tpm419419 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello fellow Edge owners Anyone have a problem with blown right front wheel seals?? Have a brief smell of oil when coming to a stop. Went to dealer and it was found to be a r/f wheel seal dripping onto the exhaust. The dealer said he just finished doing one on another Edge. My truck has about 4000 miles on it Drive safe, have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druck52 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 You are probably talking about the RF PTU axle seal if AWD or the Transaxle seal if FWD. there are no wheel seals on the Edgel. There have been many people complaining of the same problem on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pulls somewhat to the right also, hoping that will correct it. Dealer will give me a loaner car in 2 weeks so I can't complain. Have a great New year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druck52 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Replacing the seal will not fix a pull to the right while driving. There is a TSB for a pull but you need to tell the service department about the problem or they will do nothing about it. Hope you are enjoying your Edge otherwise I know I love mine.

Are you saying I should stress to the service dep't. that I know about the TSB or should I just mention it is pulling. Last time at the shop I had them check it and they told me the tire pressure in the f/r tire was low. That was the second time I mentioned it pulling. Thank you again for the information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druck52 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I would just let them know that it is pulling and have them check the alignment. Many things can cause a pull, low tire pressure, tires, crown in the road or alignment being off. You can mention that there is a TSB for a pull but they would still have to check to see if it applies to your vehicle. There are some threads on this board that cover the pull issues if you want to read them. Hope this helps some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freekyFX4 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 We just brought our Edge AWD home tonight and I did notice that if I let go of the steering wheel, it pulls to the right just a bit. Just enough to ensure that I have at least one hand on the wheel at all times. I tried it on both the interstate and a side street and it seemed unaffected by the presence or lack of tilt in the road. I will mention it the first time I have to go to the dealer for anything.

kevinb120 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Its hard to find a road in the US where it's not slightly crowned to the edges to see if a car pulls or not. Does it pull to the right in the left lane of a highway where it's crowned left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpm419419 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 My edge has the same issue and has been to the dealer 3 times for it. In the left lane with a noticeable crown in the road, my Edge will drift to the right over the crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
