Hello, I had both of my axles replaced already and it was under warranty. 2023 Maverick XLT. My problem was a bad vibration at around 40 mph. They drove it and it went right in the shop. Best of luck to you sir and obviously it is a problem.
It was probably torqued to spec. Removal often requires more torque than was applied to tighten. Don't try to do the work without the correct tools. Note: I didn't say use an impact driver. I said to use a breaker bar, which is a socket driver with a non-ratcheting head. Everyone who works on vehicles should have that. Ratcheting socket drives often break above 100ft/lbs, especially the less expensive ones.
Hilarious
I bought a single deep 35mm socket in advance for the axle nut on our FJ cruiser, because I knew I needed one...Harbor Freight impact socket and breaker bar served me well when I upgraded the axle spline nut on my Chevy Volt.
Best part is you don't have to buy a whole set you can buy an individual socket.
I certainly hope you changed your review of Jones Ford back to the one star you originally gave them after your first visit. When they told you it wasn't covered under warranty.I bought a single deep 35mm socket in advance for the axle nut on our FJ cruiser, because I knew I needed one...
Funny thing is, I already knew there would be folks telling me it's my fault for being ignorant, but wanted to share my experience anyway-
Take it with a grain of salt...
On a positive note, I did receive a DM from a member that works for Ford. He offered to help me report the dealership to corporate-
At that point you would have had the option to go with the upgraded Tremor axles.
But are they really an upgrade???
very, very rarely. like I've seen 2 complaints of it, ever and one of the trucks was lifted 2.5".
Sounds like the put the most inexperienced person in the shop on the job, who likely has the the fewest tools because they are new. That sucks.
