Cracked Control Arm Bushing

[WOADKIL]

My rear leafs looked like that, slight twist out of alignment.

Had service check it out when in for an oil change. Was told it looked "normal"...

So, I loosened the U-bolts and straightened them myself.

Sure enough, they are back to the same position as before...

Guess not a big problem.

For anyone who's curious, I reached out to Ford Corporate to see if they would be willing to cover any portion of the repair given these failures at only 26,000 miles. They declined to do so. Pretty disappointing to think in an off-road oriented truck you may be looking at paying $3k every 26,000 miles to fix issues caused by bumpy roads...

Why are they saying it is not warranty you are still under your bumper to bumper?

I'm well under 36,000 miles but it's over 3 years old (2021 model).

Oh make sense now, even though they should help you some with only 26,000 miles. As I have said in another post the have X, Facebook and other social media sites call them out on it now this is your only weapon.
