What's the name of the other thread? It may help me leverage ford. As of now I'm paying for the piece to get next day delivery
As much as I want to point fingers at the tire shop, I have heard instances of them being crossthreaded from the factory. If they simply removed the nut and moved no further, I'd say that's the case. Good luck getting a service appointment at your local dealer though. I'd tell them to clean the threads up, get a new nut, and send it.

I tend not to believe the tire shop, but that is my bias. I had a corporate mechanic shop do a simple tune up once, a year later I found out the hard way they cross threaded the spark plug.
Some of these shops are hamfisted, in a hurry, and many have under trained staff now days.
this is my bias though.

Not sure about that thread name but I’m pretty sure Ford said f*ck off in regards to the warranty fix. Problem is you can’t ever prove to them it was done at the factory and they will say the lift shop did it. If you can somehow get it covered by warranty, it’s going to take awhile to get it from Ford. They continue to drop the ball on everything Bronco related… shocking I know

That's what I'm expecting to happen. Neither will claim fault and I'll just pay my $400 so I can enjoy my ride.

You need to search around for a good off road or jeep shop or at least someone similar with the lift yourinstalling. Its just a little more complicated then swiping out coils and adding some UCAs

First time removing a bolt, do it by hand. After you know it’s good can step up to power tools. You find a bolt that won’t come out or seems really tough, to the dealership. Then tell them you plan on a instal and this bolt seems awful tight. Ask them to break it loose. Covers your ass.
Way to many over thread locked and cross threaded bolts on these broncos. I’m talking soon as you see metal flake or you think you’re about to snap it.

There isn't some factory guy with a ratchet wrench or air gun installing those nuts.
In a nutshell. Factory wrenches are DC volt computer driven and monitored. They monitor the whole process real time. Like how many turns the wrench makes and the torque needed for each turn up to and including final torque. If they take too much torque like you'd expect from the thread damage shown the tool would have faulted and stopped and set an alarm. If completely stripped the torque during install might be too little and set an alarm. Ford keeps a data base on each critical fastener for each and every unit built by vin number and all have to pass before shipping. All wrenches are wired direct to the data base.
I installed dozens and dozens of these tools over my years at Ford.

Sorry I’m not phone savvy and know how to copy and post the link.
You can just use the search function for “stripped” and find his listed right after yours.
