Deer hunting with your Lincoln MKT is effective but costly

Today we start a new build. It is a 2012 Lincoln MKT AWD with the 3.7 liter. It belongs to a fellow viewer of the channel from the state of Michigan. It hit a deer (a rather large one) so the front end and some of the engine is going to need some repair. The SRS system deployed a few components and one of the sensors didn't survive. Let's tear it apart and see what parts we will need and straighten what we need to for the new parts to fit correctly.

I was thinking 'moose' from the outset. I'm not sure a deer could make that sort of damage unless you fired it from a cannon.

@BrucePierson Год назад

@@vehcor Pretty common here in Australia with kangaroos being fairly well everywhere except in the cities. The damage to our Starwagon was worse because it was a medium sized kangaroo and it went through the grille, taking out the radiator, condenser, fan and water pump. The hood and bumper were also damaged and replaced and the radiator supports were straightened. All up, $4.5k damage.

Used to have a '91 Explorer that went toe to toe with a dear. It ran out in front of me during some rain, "grill guard" took the brunt but shoved it into everything it was supposed to protect then scooped the deer under the suv causing me to lose control and slide off into a tree lined ditch. Luckily the ditch kept me away from the trees.

I understand what it is supposed to do. It seems foolish to worry about noise when so many other issues plague these cars. Not to mention you cannot tell the difference if the fenders are not glued back on. I have seen 100s from shops that just throw them on and there is no more road noise than ones that are glued in.
