Mechanics step in. What did this come off of

[Pat McRotch]

Found this in my driveway after the snow melted. At Christmas I had two 2015ish subaru's Outbacks and a 2018 F150 in my driveway. The bracket was behind one of the subies. Also in the driveway, which haven't moved much,

is a 2019 F150, 2020 Ford Transit, 87 toy 2wd p/u and a 07 Outback.
What did this fall off of?

Looks like balljoint.

 

[Chevy_man]

Just drive them all. One of them will eventually let you know when the missing part becomes important.

 

[Steve300xcw]

Something with a CV on the driveline

 

[Ranger5.0L]

That is driveshaft bolts. Usually off a cv driveshaft. Some one's gonna have a bad day soon

 

[Byro]

The F150 is missing half of the bolts holding the front drive shaft to the diff.

 

[Pat McRotch]

Also, after the ice and snow was gone, my F150 started making popping noise from the f/r wheel area. I looked around, didn't see where it could come from. Mini Pringles can for size comparison. (Was gonna use muh dick but...)

 

[Byro]

See post above yours.

 

[Pat McRotch]

Thanks guys! Yall right. Just looked. I should've looked closer. You know, with a flash light and shit. 100 internet points to all yall

The real question is how do 3 bolts all back out?

How did ALL back out? Drive line was dangling.... and I found another empty hole where a bolt should go... shitty lift install. It will be resolved

No, how do all 3 back out and drop the part in the driveway where it's getting parked?

Holy shit man, go buy a lottery ticket.

I wanna say those are just a fine thread 5/16"

I'd say someone trying to take a part off or previous repair person was forgetful.

I do more dodges than fords.... though both are going to the non serviceable shit

Looks like some meth head was trying to snatch a replacement driveshaft and got scared off half way through the job.

 

[Steve300xcw]

Either that or they just never snugged shit down after the lift.....

Think I would go over every bolt on that thing just to be sure

Possible. But I don't live in a shitty part of town, just a shitty state

 

[Steve300xcw]

Eh you never know. Have had several calls about stolen drivelines. I didnt even know that was a thing..

 

[Byro]

So if it pops and grinds they broke the vacuum actuators in the knuckles putting the CVs back in. Super common if you aren’t careful. Not sure why Ford though it was a good idea to use, plastic, vacuums and 4WD in the same part description.

 

[total newb]

i havent seen any of that gen fords but as others said driveline cv.

Id be more certain if it was only 2 bolts, common chry setup, but like i said, i havent seen that new of fords.

To quothe The Donald... "WRONG..."

Heads say 10.9 those beyatches be metric, probably 8mm so real damn close to 5/16" but no cigar.

Well with a m18 3/8" impact a 5/16" fine thread bolt will make that part of the Ford ,American once again...
