Thank you! I said that because I actually saw a Prius heading into the end of the trail the last time I was there. The driver thought it was comical as well.

My understanding is that it’s the same axle across the board with different gearing. I’m happy to re-gear but don’t think that will solve anything

I thought the purpose of me replacing the UCA's, tie rods, etc was to correct the geometry with the suspension lift.

I didn't want to create bad press with my post. I only wanted to make others aware that if they intend to run 37's there's a great chance they're going to get denied warranty if they run into this problem. Since it seems that it's impacting a lot more than just myself, I think we will see more...

I’ll have to wait to get more details. My truck was built in November and I bought it in December.

I just received news that it will be covered and replaced under warranty. Do not quote me on this but the response I received was that the Ford field rep has seen a number of these with the exact same issue and it is believed to be a bad batch of rear assemblies.

I originally took it to Huntington Beach Ford and yes I think exactly like you said, they put little effort into it and the service manager said he wouldn’t help in any way. I hear nothing but bad things about that dealership anyway but it’s one block from my house so I thought I’d give it a...

Performance.ford.com advertising and marketing the bronco modified. Promoting companies like 4WP and photos of lifted Broncos with winches and bumpers etc

No one is asking for sympathy. I’m making others aware if they intend to run 37’s they may very well need to replace the rear axle assembly because the truck can’t handle it despite how it’s marketed. Read the post next time

I think the whole tube is twisted yes and more noticeable by the wheel hub. What I find strange is that I don’t feel it at all driving it. And if I look in my side mirror the tire isn’t bouncing or anything. It drove smoothly to the dealer

It’s twisted closer to the wheel hub

They’re saying it’s bent. That torque caused the tube to break at the welds and that it’s bent close to the wheel hub. Not sure if you can see it in the photo. It was more noticeable on the ground

I’m told the axle tube is warped. So welding it will do no good. The welds aren’t blown out, just leaking. The truck is drivable. It’s actually not even noticeable when driving

The suspension mods on my truck aren’t janky and the truck isn’t abused. It has 1200 miles on it. My post doesn’t say anything about beware of dealers denying warranty because of suspension mods. It says to consider their first reaction and immediate “no” was because of 37’s. If it isn’t covered...

It’s at my company’s ford store now where they said a field engineer will come out and look at it. It could take a few weeks or up to a month before they come out.

My undercarriage and skids etc are flawless. The Ford service dept literally said to me today “we don’t really know what caused this”. There’s no physical damage to anything. But it’s not going to be covered because the truck is modified. Simple as that.

No one knows… I have a 2” lift (king) which isn’t anything wild, tons of people are running kings. RPG UCA’s, tie rods, upper & lower links, and pan hard bar. I thought I covered my bases. I’ll be the Guinea pig for aftermarket axle replacement soon.

I had stock axles on the 4Runner, 4.56 gears, supercharged, on 35x12.5-17 Yokohama Geolanders. I did Gold Mountain a number of times without any issues. I didn’t compare my 4Runner to a Jeep nor did I try to conquer trails Jeeps make look easy. The Bronco is marketed to compete with the Jeep is...

Thank you. This was literally only my second time driving the truck off pavement. I was actually impressed with how smooth it was. It wasn’t until I got home that I saw the oil dripping from my diff. Almost a perfect day haha

Great point. Have you driven a raptor? The build quality is nothing like the traditional full size bronco. Almost as if it wasn’t even made by the same company. My bronco feels very fiesta’ish. I didn’t post to hate in Ford. I just want to make others aware before they going following my logic...
