omar302 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Can't comment on something I don't understand. But different part numbers can be for any difference. Even the same model year with & without vista roof would have different part numbers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz118 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) The final drive ratio is different and higher in the ST, and that change alone will result in faster acceleration in the ST. The ST final drive 3.39 vs. the Sport 3.16. Why Is Final Drive Ratio Important? Accelerate Faster! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLGPHl1o0bc Edited June 16, 2018 by blitz118 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Don't forget that there is a new transmission which means different gear ratios, so the final drive alone does not give the full picture. But since it is a 8 speeds versus 6 speeds, there will be a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the same model year with & without vista roof would have different part numbers. No, they wouldn't. A different trim level might have different spring part numbers, but having different options (except tire size) has nothing to do with what springs it has within that trim level. Now on a truck, that's a different story. Edited June 17, 2018 by 27Sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now on a truck, that's a different story. Lots of manufacturers price parts on model trims. Have a high end model, it may be the same as a base model part but because you paid more dor your vehicle we gonna make you pay more for a part.

And your point is? How many different trim levels are there, and with how many different engines are within those trim levels? Basically what I was saying is that just because a Titanium has a moonroof, doesn't mean it has different springs than a Titanium without a moonroof with everything else being the same (wheel size, engine, AWD etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 The 2016 parts list isn't clear, but the 2011 is. You can clearly see different spring part numbers with & without sunroof. https://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2011/ford/edge/sel-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/rear-suspension-cat/rear-suspension-scat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 They often use different spring rates with different options. E.g. different engines, heavy vista roofs, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 What does the price of parts have to do with my post about springs? because each spring could just have a different part number just for the trim it is on, but in reality be the same exact part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 because each spring could just have a different part number just for the trim it is on, but in reality be the same exact part That doesn't make sense. It would double or triple the number of part numbers for the same exact part and serves no other purpose that I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Having worked in the parts business on both the dealer and manufacturer sides, I can tell you that it is true that more than one part number may be assigned to the same part but not within the same product line. If an Edge spring has a different part number then it is different in some way from other Edge springs. But it is not uncommon for the same part to have different numbers across product lines - in this case an MKX part might be the same as an Edge part but still have a different number because they get it from a different supplier or some other reason. One example I'll never forget... most Honda motorcycles use the exact same oil drain plug washer as Honda automobiles yet the motorcycle part number is different and more than three times the price of the automobile part. However, the Accord EX part number isn't different from the Accord LX number (or even from the Civic number for that matter) so the idea that part numbers change between trim levels for no reason other than pricing isn't the case. The ordering and inventory management issues alone would make that impractical but more than that, manufacturers wouldn't want customers to hear about such a practice which could be a violation of antitrust laws - and things like that tend not to remain secret for very long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 My guess on AWD disconnect is that it must be disconnecting the PTU - that's the only thing that would be new compared to the current system. Finally found some info on AWD disconnect from the PTU mfr. It disengages the drive shaft inside the PTU. http://www.aftermarketnews.com/aam-to-supply-awd-ptus-for-global-ford-crossovers/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
