Alignment/camber issues
Hey guys!
I have a 7th gen Max. I’m trying to figure out why my alignments won’t last more than a few months. It was in a wreck. 😩
One shop told me I needed a Left rear hub assembly & knuckle PLUS about 3 hours of frame straightening. (About $800)
Looked for a second opinion & they advised me to go to get an alignment. I got an alignment a few months back & ended up getting one again today. The main issue I’m having is with the cambers in the rear. I was told today that this is the cause of my extreme tire wear.
IM TIRED OF RUNNING THRU TIRES.
Please help!!!!

HA!
Yes we are on a first name basis. Harold told me that a camber kit could help. He doesn’t like the idea of frame straightening. He was really old so I felt as though he may not be familiar with the technology.
I was stuck in a ditch, I wasn’t hit. I believe trying to get out of the ditch did the damage. A few mechanics have putting a bandaid on my stab wound :/

It was in a wreck. Get it as close as you can with repair, then deal with it. Beyond that, there's really nothing you can do about it. It will always have issues. Sorry. Try to not crash into ditches.
This is why wrecked vehicles are so hard to sell, the litany of difficult to diagnose, repair, and deal with issues that will inevitably plague the vehicle for the rest of it's life.
