Welcome from Washington (the state). Post a picture of your Maverick!

Does the pull happen all the time, or only after the tires are warmed up? Check and set air pressure to whatever is on your sticker when all tires are overnight cold and before the sun warms them up. I had a similar issue on a Honda Accord with a cheap set of tires on them - the tires looked...

How-to enable this?

Or any compatible OBDII dongle and some software for a phone. The ScanGauge is a bit pricey though it's a nice tool. It certainly does have gears in it, how do you think the power gets moved around between the ICE, two electric motor-generators, and differential in there? My post above was...

I am (easily) confused. The hybrid eCVT does not directly connect the engine to the final drive like an automatic which has locked it's torque converter or a manual gearbox. It is instead connected through a planetary gearset and so does not have a fixed drive ratio (of course, with AWD the PTU...

@Maverick_Innovation_Designs has some other stuff for us too: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MaverickInnovation

Can attest this is a well-made part, connects like OEM, works perfectly to power my portable 12v air compressor.

Know that turning it (lane centering assist, LCA) off using the steering wheel button also turns off lane keeping assist (LKA)! I disabled lane centering in the infotainment screen so I could keep the LKA on.

Reference the below, you are wanting to look at the top where the stud from the ball joint is inserted into the pinch joint on the knuckle. If the stud is level with the inset top of the pinch it is OK (left side), if recessed it is not (right side).

The picture on Amazon is "enhanced", the real thing looks about the same as yours. I don't have it installed today as I used the truck to carry some people to the Museum of Flight in Seattle on Tuesday otherwise I'd snap a pic.

I'm using this $50 one, works perfectly for our 80-lb Bermedoodle and 45-lb rat-terrier-mutt-thing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C93QVJZX

This is a great post, thank you @HeyBales. As noted by @HeyBales the ball joint pinch bolt and its nut are one-time use items! In the below scenario the vehicle is not being jacked up by the "General Equipment Axle Stands" - it's on a lift, then lowered with 5mm (less than 1/4") of clearance on...

Centering is what you are describing, the actively semi-autonomous driving that will follow curves etc.. Keeping minds you if you stray too far to one side or the other of the lane and will rumble the wheel/nudge you back into the lane. I turned off centering because I live in a hilly area...

🤔

I would think that no damage should result from the ball stud not being all the way in but anything is possible which is why a tech will have a look. If I was going to do the repair I would loosen the pinch, drop the control arm, clean the mating surfaces, pop the ball stud back into the pinch...
