Definitely bad parts. I bought my coilover kit right after I started driving my Maverick. But I saw enough premature axle failure to wait until mine wore out before I lowered it. I got 49k miles before mine went South...

Plenty of Ecoboost Mavericks have had axle failures, even Tremors...

Not a big deal, if you can find parts, and replace the axles yourself. Which lift kit did you use? Did you install it?

And one reason you hear about axle failures more on hybrid Mavericks, is because there's a lot more of them on the road.

I'm no engineer, but I know many dealerships refuse warranty coverage for failed CV axles if the truck has bigger tires.

I'd say, the vast majority of lifted trucks with bigger tires fail the fastest... Just an observation after reading all over the Internet about Maverick axle failures for the past 18 months.

Yeah, I'm running coilovers as low as I could go without tire rub. And the alignment isn't perfect...

I bought a set of Toyo extensas... No way the dealership is going to cover tires...

2500 miles of driving with shaking axles was enough to wear out my front tires...

.8 of an inch? No wonder it's not noticably lowered...

I'm wondering how the Lobo is lowered. Does it have shorter springs and shocks/struts? At first glance, I'd never guess it was any lower than stock... An inch lower maybe???

Nice job with the modifications- BUT... I have a feeling your going to need CV axle replacements sooner, rather than later.

Have you ever actually "called corporate"??? I did, when the dealership lied to me about warranty coverage. It was a complete waste of time...

In a perfect world, yes- With the dealership service model we currently have, no chance...

I was planning on selling mine, then buy a 24 xl. But I'm having so much fun driving it now, on coilovers, I just might keep it... Changing CV axles are a pain, but not a deal breaker for me. If I can get reasonably priced parts, I'll replace 'em myself if they wear out again...

Axles are covered under the 5Y/60k power train warranty. The dealership alerted me of the worn tires, and offered to sell me a new over priced pair.

It took my dealership 3 weeks to get a new pair of hybrid axles in January. Another member got his in 6 days.

You will detect a slight wiggle/shimmy/shake in the steering wheel when accelerating. I first detected it at just under 50k miles when accelerating from 50 mph. It took me nearly a month to get it repaired. The shake kept getting worse, but was still drivable when I finally got it repaired. My...

I believe it's just a weak part- CV axles are very common these days, and you don't hear about other makes/models needing CV axles replaced so soon. They commonly last well over 100k miles...
