If you find a source please post. Thinking its going to be a tech. I looked on-line for our 14 Explorer. Not a lot of newer stuff online yet. Door handle lock/uplock sensor doesn't work. Ford Dealer found a connector with corrosion, and quoted $2,500 to wire around the connector. I just need the door pinouts where the connector is. Wifes car, do just cant start taking things apart to find it.
Gear One Super Stub Conversion?
The issue with a VW stub is if the stub breaks the wheel leaves the car. A VW stub has two jobs, power transfer and hold the wheel. All the weight, bumps are relying on a 1.2" dia shaft. The micro stubs, the unit bearing is big large diameter bearing is holding the weight of the vehicle. The stub is just transferring power to the wheels. Much more reliable design.
Wire expands and contracts with heat cycles and the wire could oxidize or corrode. Both causing connection issues. Can't tell you how many times I've been into boxes tightening wire nuts because of bad connections.
What do you consider full bump?
I have 4-inches of clearance at full bump and flat profile Dune sport tires. Skid plate was all bent up from all the hard hits. Took the skid plat off. The hard hits went away also. No skid plate is way better.
Safetywhips.com has quick disconnect, similar to an air chuck. I've heard of issues where this bounces loose. Try running a zip tie under the collar to keep it from slidding down. You'll have to cut the zip tie loose every time. Or a cotter pin bent up to fit the groove.
Japler drills CV's for zerks. Better then the grease saver. BFH is all you need to get it out.
You have Bogarts. They break easily. Bogart is in Phoenix. He'll cut out the old billet center and weld in a new one. But he'll be the first to say that those wheels were made for VW cars. The cars got too heavy and the wheel design didn't change. Disc brakes, Bogart has an option to machine in boss for the disc rotor. An SU in the group, broke a front Bogart. The other side was cracking. Joe Fab welded it in Glamis Another buddies Elite car broke out a rear Bogart in 3rd gear in a bowl. It spun him around so hard he though they were going to flip. I took that rim to Bogart, and he put a new center in it. One front was cracking also. We sent pics of the rotor and dimensions to Bogart so he could make a new center. Then when the machine code was done, sent the wheel and they welded in the new center. I'd switch to Douglas lot stronger. Maybe heavier, don't know but its worth the piece of worring about when that rim is going to let go in the middle of a bowl.
I had an unplugged cable bouncing on the floor board make clicking noises. I've seen many cables broken due to putting them behind bars, then the side panel pinches the cable. If its the mic circuit it could be cutting in and out.
