Well, got a stock as a rock XF, im new to this sort of stuff, and the doorhandles keep breaking from the inside and outside of the car. Wanted to know if there is a permanant way to stop this happening.

So theres no other Falcons with similar mechanisms that i can use? Or any aftermarket stronger parts? I cant fix them myself yet, and its expensive for someone else to do it, and im not a fan of them continually breaking on me all the time.

you could try replacing the hinge bushes. i have heard if they are worn and the door sags a little you then have to use a little more force to open the door and lift it up harder.
the bushes you should get from ford cheaply but changing them is another thing.

everything has to be aligned right, the door striker, the door lock, the door hinges, the link to the door handle (both).
if not, they will keep breaking.

Hey man i just sold my XF fairlane and bought an AU3 i had the same problem my xf once those lock hinges and all that jazz are out of line the chances are slim of gettin bak in sadly lol... you will have to make do. Also the parts are obsolete and wreckers seem to charge like $100 for just the new switch set.

in my old XD, i put a couple of washers between the bottom hinge and the door on both front doors (back doors never broke), never had another break in the 3 years after that. Nice and cheap.
