* Not so much a design problem, but the result of a common mistake made by inexperienced mechanics (even Ford Dealership techs). Removing the rear brake rotors for replacement or resurfacing requires pulling out the axle, but the five bolts holding the axle in are **single-use**. Like head bolts, they stretch upon install and have to be replaced every time. Trying to re-use the bolts will result in the failures described above. | * Not so much a design problem, but the result of a common mistake made by inexperienced mechanics (even Ford Dealership techs).
