Replaced the Cam Position Synchronizer with a Motorcraft unit p/n DA 2089 as the OEM unit (with 245K miles on it) had been "squeaking" at start up for sometime. I had heard an occasional "squeak" for many years (its a '02 Edge, bought new) and had purchased the new unit some years ago never thinking of the possible problems I could of had by not replacing it.
Anyways, all went well with the replacement.
What I would like to know is why I can't get the old unit to "squeak" now that I have it out and on the bench? The thing looks like new. Doesn't seem to have excessive axial or radial play in the shaft. The gear teeth look like new. Try as I might when spinning the shaft, I can't get it to "squeaking".
Thought?
