Lifting 2025 Maverick AWD Hybrid safe for CV joints?

[Frenchy]

I don't understand how so many people post questions like this... " I want to change my steering geometry and increase joint angles on reciprocating components, disregarding engineering specs. Am I going to reduce the reliability of my vehicle?". The answer is always "probably". Vehicles have issues when we use them as designed and assembled. Why wouldn't we expect more problems if we change them outside of design parameters? I've been tweaking vehicles since 1973, reduced reliability is always assumed when increasing capability.

What you don,t understand is the question.

What you don,t understand is the question.

Quoting your post: "if I wanted to lift my 2025 AWD Hybrid would it be safe for the CV joints?"

This will change the angle on your CV joints and affect your steering geometry. Your insurance company would say it's not safe. So would any vehicle warranties. So would any suspension engineer.

I think that there a mistake some where as my original question,this time,was "does any one know if the 2025 Maverick have different CV joints that the 2024"
The title for this post is not from me

Then I apologize for answering the wrong question

I'll be a guinea pig, lol. My '25 Maverick Lariat hybrid AWD is scheduled for this week. I already have the 2.5" lift kit from Rough Country with all new struts and springs. I've already mounted my 235/75R17 Hankook All Terrain tires on steel wheels. Don't hate, if you saw my land, you would understand.

I even have a pair of BREMBO knock off 4-piston calipers to try on the front designed to fit a Volvo S60-2.5L. Flexible brake hoses from a '21 Transit Connect should work, though I also ordered custom hoses.

I'll post when I have received my truck and have made the changes. Wish me luck! I drive more than a hundred miles per day, so in no time I'll have plenty of test miles. SQUEAL!

Because just like me they have a 2025 Maverick and they would have looked under. I am now too old to do these things that I used to do all the time

There is zero way of telling if the CV axles would be impacted by a lift simply by looking under the vehicle.

That doesn’t tell you much about the issues with the CV axles from hybrids and non Tremor EBs

I was thinking that someone would be able to see if the CV Joint on 2025 are the same or not than on the 2024

Which would not tell you if they could be lifted safely. Just that they are…different.

I have been under my vehicle and taken pictures of the CV axles. I can’t tell if lifting it is safe or not.

 

[710-oil-614]

That's not the question. The question is if the '25 CV joints are improved over the '24 and it is a valid question that can probably be answered by anyone who can get under it

Actually that’s not the question. It was what do we know about the 2025s and can it be lifted safely?

So he answered it exactly how it should be.

it is amazing to see how many people do not understand a simple question: I never talked about lifting anything ( as I wrote before someone else added this title to my question) , my simple question is : are the 2024 and the 2025 CV joints the same?

You legit ask about lifting your Maverick in your original post, while not mentioning 2024 at all.

Are you claiming someone edited your post and asked the question on your behalf?

2025 CV part number differences discussed here. Yes thread went off topic.

This has no meaning to if they are redesigned, if so by how much.

Physical look from the outside could be exactly the same - and the important internals are different. Or not.
Maybe better guts, but boots put on poorly. Nothing like a little water leakage to cause problems.

So to your question - to what do we know?
Different part numbers.

For 25 hybrid Mavericks:
FWD hybrids SZ6Z-3ZB436-B & SZ6Z-3ZB437-A.
AWD hybrids: SZ6Z-3ZB436-A & SZ6Z-3ZB437-A.

So these are different from the updated parts for the 22-24 Maverick hybrids (SZ6Z-3B436-E & SZ6Z-3B437-C)

Now you'll have to wait for experience of miles - or 1st person with an issue with ability to tear apart an old and new to compare.

Thank you very much for answering my question completely.
