Insurance has agreed to fix it. Related it to the one accident that I had... They are much easier to deal with. Should be set Peter this week

Yep, and will be faster than ever

Time to order the roll cage and 6-pts I think. And wheel studs. And new helmet. And new brake pads. Etc. Etc. Etc

It's pretty messed up that your insurance company is easier to deal with then the manufacturer...

Ford needs to get a freakin' clue with these warranty repairs.

Hoping nothing else comes up with the car. But, yes, too bad I got a big "no" from Ford

The ironic part is the insurance company brought the car over to my Ford dealership, who will do the repair....

Got the car back - drives better. I didn't notice the vibration for the first time ever... will take it out tomorrow too for the last time before garaging till April, but I did not notice any vibe (which makes me think the axle was bent from day 1), and the brakes feel firmer too, which makes sense because the rear right caliper is not over compressing due to the large runout the rotor had before.

I am happy now if only it was April and track season again!!

I'm glad you got it fixed. I put my car up for the winter a couple of weeks ago but I may drive it occasionally if the weather is not too bad.

I'll take mine around the neighborhood a couple times on nice days if there isn't crap all over the road... it's nice having the car back though

Now it's winter modification time
