I agree with all you said but..... 4 Wheel Parts stepped up. It was the first install they did on a Maverick. They missed a step. They are replacing the axel with no cost to me.
To be honest, in January 2022, it was the only one I could find. The factor for me is 4 Wheel Parts stepped up and is taking care of everything including the required adjustment to the lift.
That is great that 4 Wheel parts is taking care of it. It is good to know they do back up their warranty.
4WP replaced the axle but vibration is still present. They removed the lift completely and there's no change. The truck is now at the dealership that this 4WP does their 3rd party work. Waiting to see what everyone comes up with....
It's been a few weeks, any update?
Just Friday, the dealer claims after replacing both front axles (and maybe something else?). It's fixed. Lift had nothing to do with it. They cleared 4WPs to reinstall 2" leveling kit. I pick it up Monday. No cost to me.
I'd be interested to know what the failure was - CV joint boots, the joints themselves, inner or outer, the shorter LH shaft or the RH one?
I've had no issues since. I've pit another 5k miles on it and so far its all good. I have taken one 500 mile trip averaged 28mpg and another into tne Texas hill country buy my driving and the hills knocked it down to 26.i
Lmao my dealer quoted me $1800 for 1 axle. I told them to kiss my ass and went to a different dealer. They covered it without hesitation.
