Title: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 16th, 2019, 10:20am Does anyone know where I can get new parts for the front suspension of my 24v. We already have the main parts but my garage can't get the rubber bits to hold them together, they say the parts must be new as we have already tried second hand and they don't cure the problem. Thank you |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Tompion on May 16th, 2019, 7:42pm If it's the rear wishbone bush you can find them on ebay Ford part no 7307905. OEM ones are also available. This is the first Ford one I found, so haven't compared prices: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223460448505 The front wishbone bush (comes already fitted to new wishbones) part no 7372344: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273574378213 If it's the antiroll bar bushes, I find if I buy pattern ones even though they have the correct part no they've been the smaller bushes (the 2.3 & cosworth bar is thicker) Ford part no 7260108: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272863346147 The wheels must be taking the weight of the car before tightening wishbone bolts - rubber bushes will be excessively twisted if tightened with suspension hanging low. |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 17th, 2019, 4:22pm Thank you so much for your help. I think it must be the rubber insulator that we are looking for. I've had a squeak from the front passenger side for 2 years now, my trusted Ford garage that I've been with for 11 years has already changed the track rods which were worn and improved it but it came back. Now they have taken it apart and said the main joint is mush, so I guess that's what he means. He's tried to get other makes of the parts that would fit but no luck. Like me he is very fussy when it come to my car which we both love very much. I'm so afraid now that something serious will go and I won't be able to get those parts either. A squeak I can live with if I have to but to lose Reg would be the end of the world! |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Torbayboy on May 18th, 2019, 8:26am I have had a "fine weather" "squeak" on the front right of my Cossie estate for a while now, seems the bush dries out its not a problem as mine are still sound. There are replacements out there but Ford ones are probably very hard to find now. You are not far away from me why not try Glidden Ford here in Churston Torbay, ask for Martin as he is very happy to find stuff (love that word) for real Fords, menton me if you like, as I nag him sometimes for bits. Cheers Roy Must try and get some Scorpios together here in the south west sometime this year! :) ;) |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 18th, 2019, 9:42am Thanks Roy I'll definitely give Martin a try, my chaps have already lubricated everything twice so I don't think it's just dry but if he can find us the part we're looking for it would be brilliant. I do hope we can meet one day, Regards Eileen and REG |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Simmo on May 18th, 2019, 12:41pm Have I missed something? Surely the bit listed in Tompion's post is the right part and it says it's a genuine ford part? At that price I'd have two!! ;) |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Tompion on May 18th, 2019, 1:38pm The "fine weather" "squeak" is often the inner ball joint of the track rod (covered by the steering rack bellows) massaging grease into it may help. The worn joint shown here: http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/srackrepair.htm |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Torbayboy on May 18th, 2019, 6:01pm Hello Tompion, time to worry then! Will get it checked out, this is literally a fine weather noise, any cool ness or damp/rain and it's quiet, just occurs on the drivers side Thanks |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Tompion on May 19th, 2019, 10:23am Hi Roy, Not intended to worry you :) The picture in the link was just to show the part I meant not that it might be worn - suggesting quite the opposite. The joints are often very tight when new, if it's still tight & the grease has dispersed then a fresh dollop of grease may do the job. Dave |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 19th, 2019, 12:10pm Hello Tompion, You seem really knowledgeable, mine is more a wet weather squeak, any kind of unevenness in the road and it's like an 'ouch'. My garage has taken the whole front suspension apart and lubricated it twice. They've replaced the track rods which were worn but still the squeak remains. I keep having dreadful break judder as well. They say the only answer is to rebuild the whole thing with new, they've already got most of the parts it's just this big main joint they can't find. Thank you so much for your time and advice. Eileen |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Tompion on May 19th, 2019, 1:16pm Hi Eileen, Can you tell us the name of the part or the number on this page or the image below: http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/images/frontsuspension.gif If it's no 7, it's not a good representation that's what I posted earlier: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223460448505 7A is the second link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273574378213 4 is the third link (also not a good representation): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272863346147 http://i.imgur.com/KHUjtus.gif?1 Dave |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 19th, 2019, 8:41pm Hi Dave, My garage hasn't told me the part number or what exactly it is probably because I wouldn't understand, I only know how to love my car I trust them with the rest. I was about to buy that part on ebay so it's a good job I looked here first. Mark, at the garage has tried all his usual suppliers and looked on the internet himself so I'm guessing he would have tried ebay. He says not to worry and that it will turn up one day, thankfully it is just a squeak and not serious but it has made me frightened. I don't have many driving years left but I can't begin to imagine life without REG, we've been together for 11 years. |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Simmo on May 20th, 2019, 6:43am Why not print off the diagram that Tompion has posted and take it to the garage? Better still log on to this site at the garage and let them see what is being said. ;) |
||

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 21st, 2019, 12:04pm My wonderful garage has done it again, the brake judder has gone and my baby drives like he's brand new. The part we need is the cup for the bottom strut. I seem to remember some members saying they got parts from Germany and Mark says if anyone could give us contacts we would be very grateful since he's tried everywhere he knows here. Thanks to everyone for your help. Eileen and REG |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Simmo on May 21st, 2019, 1:34pm scorpi-oh. I'm sure people would offer help if you could just identify the part by reference to the diagram Tompion mentioned. I personally can't see what it is you are after? |
||
|
Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 22nd, 2019, 9:38am My garage showed me yesterday, it's the section below the picture here, there's the cup that we want that the strut fits into and a spring below that. It's the lowest part of the front suspension that he says rarely had any problems. I'm sorry I don't know more. |
||
|
Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Simmo on May 22nd, 2019, 10:55am I'm sorry I am still bemused. There is nothing below the wishbone, item 1 in the diagram. PM me the telephone number of the garage and I'll ring them and see if we can sort it. |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Simmo on May 22nd, 2019, 11:58am I've just had a horrible feeling. ??? Are we talking about 'our' Scorpio or are we talking about the MK2 which was a Granada Scorpio with a totally different front suspension set up?? 'Our' Scorpio is pictured above. The older model is totally different. |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 22nd, 2019, 12:18pm It's a Dec 94 build, M reg 24v, Ultima |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Simmo on May 22nd, 2019, 12:40pm OK then I remain mystified. My offer to talk to your garage man is still open. :) |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Simmo on May 22nd, 2019, 2:03pm Dave/ Scorpi-oh. I have just spoken to Mark at the garage and the part is FINIS 7376777 which is not on that diagram! |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Simmo on May 22nd, 2019, 2:07pm Found it via Google, on Ebay but listing ended. :( |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Tompion on May 22nd, 2019, 3:18pm That's at the top of the strut no 8 here: http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/images/frontstrut.gif That's listed here but for Scorpio's they often can't get what they list: https://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/ford/ford-7376777-plate-retaining/ |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 23rd, 2019, 10:06am I've sent the link on to Mark, this site is brilliant! Through it I have met my dearest friend Nunnspoet and bought MOUK who still has pride of place at the garage and whose parts live on in REG. Thank you all so much. Eileen and REG |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by Simmo on May 23rd, 2019, 12:29pm Eileen. Tompion and I spoke yesterday afternoon and I found a part in Germany. I rang the garage and gave the lady the details for Mark to follow up ;) Mark now has access to this site for future use and I talked him through the posts on here. |

Title: Re: New parts for 24v Post by scorpi-oh on May 23rd, 2019, 2:30pm Thank you so much, REG and I are truly grateful. |
