Reviews of OEM FORD starter motor

these were inexpensive starters

The plastic on those is more brittle than paper thin ice.

Very common with these starters

Unfortunately a cheap starter with cheap plastic

That cheap flimsy thing?

It’s junk the day it was made

It’s shitty material and if the nut holding your signal wire on is at all too tight or a little rusty seized that piece will snap right off.

It's just the shittiest plastic on the starter motor.

They're brittle, they do break

They suck , they break , they are brittle when old its Ford engineers fault !
