CV Alxe - I joined the club

[Mt4004]

Hi Folks,

I joined the club! I have a 2023 Hybrid Maverick. About 2 weeks ago I had a heavy vibration when accelerating (50% power) and going between 30 to 50mph. It seemed to push through above 60. I originally thought it was heavy wind, then I started googleing. I found this site.

Honesty, I love my Maverick until this issu. I have contacted ford, but can't get them to call back.

First service shop said it was unbalanced tires. I took to a different shop as the vibration was getting worse....told then it was the CV alxes. Everyone said I was "idot"...called me yesterday at 3pm and said....it was the CV alxe. They will only replace one under warrently, then will test drive to determine if the second one is bad. I have 27k miles. Is this going to be a routine maintenence item?

Welcome.

For the few people that have had this issue with their Mavericks, it seems to start showing up around the 20k+ mileage. So yours is typical. No one knows if it will happen again, but hopefully not.

Routinely check CV boots for leaks/wet appearance. I think the recommended schedule for this is at 10k miles. Read your manual to be sure - either the printed version or download the searchable .pdf user manual at ford.com
Google will take you directly to the site page to get it.

Tremor has different half shafts than non-Tremors

And everyone said I would be the first tremor!
4 1/2” lift and 4.5k miles plus another trip to the desert. Will post more soon.

My hero!!
Your truck is my trucks spirit animal. I so wish I had 2 Tremors one to keep stock for my wife and one to party with yours! Love what you did with the rear bumper, I would have personally tapered up a bit more to eliminate the lil bumperettes and put some hooks there. Maybe bend a nice piece of metal to the shape of the edge to finish it off. But what I am I saying Im still too chicken to cut mine.

More to come soon on the bumper !
Complete tube with departure skid plat back to subframe to accommodate a good bash plate for the diff.

I got my truck back. I still feel a vibration. They only replaced the one side.
