Local dealer installed the springs- I wonder if a Spring lift is just less noticeable than a level/kit etc to techs and such ?
Ok, that makes sense now. The local dealer modification lifted the truck and increased the CV-joint angles, so its the dealer's problem and they are replacing the halfshafts on their nickel, not Ford doing a warranty replacement.
No- Dealers out here are not really into finding ways to deny warranty maybe where you are located though not sure.
Not dealers as they get paid for warranty work but Ford corporate is into finding ways to deny warranty claims I'm sure.
to the best of my memory there are 3 different half shafts installed on Mavericks.
I know about the Tremor half shafts but have not seen a specific example in which they have been retrofitted to a Non/Tremor model -
LOL-
All kidding aside your CV axle bearings didn't fail internally, just the boot close to the tire/wheel and rocks. Either the boot failed from a defect in materials or from debris.
Yep I remember the days of split/boot n grease replacement sets. Fun times. Glad the dealer is handling this after my weekend of fault codes, trailer hitch and ball problems and a new generator that decided to take the weekend off during our camping trip.
Those old days lol. I know wheelers who carry a spare split boot and a spray can of brake cleaner for just such a predicament. Only ones immune are the solid front axle guys.
