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!!!!

 

Do you have the slips where they did the alignments and they were all in spec? Just checking to see if your suspension can get back to spec of not. There can be underlying damage. Pics of car before repair?

 

Ask the place that is doing your wallet flush alignments why the car won't hold the camber setting? you must be on a first name basis by now....

If the car was wrecked, what area was the most damaged?

 

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 :/

 

I am not sure what you mean by slips. :/

 

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.

 

when your formulated your thoughts, did you think for once “yes, this might help?”

definitelyyyyy DONT see the point in you posting this when I asked for HELP!

 

Indeed I did. So it's unfortunate that you weren't able to grasp the concept.

Good luck.

 

Did you get printouts (slips) from your alignments? They should be all in the green zones in measurements. If not post them, and if the car was damaged and you have a pic we can decipher more on what to do.
