The lug nut sheered off causing the tire to fall off thus causing $5500 worth of damage, the ins. co. decided to fix it rather than total it. Now after getting it back it shutters at speeds over 65 mph, when in reverse the tire they replaced (which is the exact same tire as the other 3) rubs on something, and when looking at straight on you can see the tire leaning inward. Also they claimed to have aligned it, but if you let go it heads for the center line. They say it's as good as they can get it, does anyone have any suggestions?

Talk to your insurance company about the repairs if it is a shop they recommended. Take it to another shop that your insurance recommends and ask them what's wrong and what it will take to repair. You may have to sue the original shop. By going through insurance company recommended shops, your insurance company may warranty the work.
Do you have a detailed invoice of the work performed?

It was a shop that I picked, it has a really good reputation ( I don't know if I'm allowed to mention the name or not), the insurance co. was mad at me for choosing it, they wanted me to go with theirs.

I would definately take the vehicle to another shop for a second opinion. If you can SEE a camber issue (tire leaning in or out) then it is dire. More than likely, something is bent. This truck will eat tires, and worse, it's probably dangerous. If a shop can overlook a visible camber problem and say the alingment is as good as they can get it, I probably wouldn't return there...alingment angles are measured in tenths of degrees (usually hundredths with toe) and a half degree is a mile...how much do you see?

I don't know anything about that, I take a picture of it though, it's very noticeable!
I took it to get a 2nd today and the bumper is misaligned by atleast 2", I have to take it to LS and have the front end checked get a print out then take it back up to the new shop to be put on the frame rack. I'm about ready to get an attorney! This new body guy said from the sound of it, it should've been totalled.

I agree with Yotermanic, i wouldnt take anything else to that shop, and any damage that visible and pronounced. is gonna be dangerous to drive. Maybe it should have been totaled, but any decent body shop, with the equipment they have should have been able to put the truck back in near new condition. It would just about have to be crushed in a crusher for them not to. But thats the reason they total em, cause repair is not always economically feasible. Hell, even a backyard mechanic that knows a little about body and frame, could get you back on the road safely, with a torch, welder, some chains and come-alongs, and some big trees to tie to and pull against. lol Good luck on that one!

A friend of mine has a 1996 f-150 and he has same problem, he just bought thid truck and has the tires leaning inward, and it was found out that ford never installed what is called i think a camber bolt?. he had one side done at a mechanic and didnt have the other side done cause they had to order another camber bolt for that side. Why didnt ford install these? is sounds like a major screw up and i wonder if its a problem in many f-150's and if so should of been recalled dont ya think, anyways mention the camber bolt on both sides and i bet that will answer your wonders....thanks, hope it helps

I would think that if a friend just bought a 10 year old truck, It may be safe to say someone may have touched the suspention sence Ford did. I hope that someone chewed up the bolt and put a straight bolt in. If not I'm going to Chevy.

Friend of mine who bought it was second owner. first owner of truck is the one who told him about it... sorry i didnt mention that, first owner was told that ford never put them in for some unknown reason, so thats why i wonder why there wasnt any recall, maybe it wasnt that much of a safety issue....first ownner just drove it that way for long long time, and then found out why it was leaning in and tires wearing out after he got tired of buying tires.. He type of guy who would drive his truck and have the dummy lights come on and say, wow, thats pretty, and keep driving. so second owner has redone alot of things in truck, now it runs great, just needs that one camber bolt on drivers side b4 he goes and gets new tires...Cause when first owner had one side replaced camber bolt, it straightened that heel right up, like i ssaid b4 only reason he only had one side done is cause they had to order another bolt since they only had one in stock, and first owner drove it soo long after that he just didnt bother ewith it since it was only a work truck and he knows nothing about anyhting but carpentry...lol...

I tell ya, I've heard some strange Ford stories but thats a new one. Never knew that camber bolts were "optional" :iceslolan

I here ya......I never did like Ford for issues My dad had with his 1988 and 1989 trucks when he bought them brand new from dealer.....

Jack up the wheel about 2inchs and put your hand on it top and bottom does it move. It sounds like a bad wheel bearing or a worn spindle. Also could be a bad ball joint. They missed something and don't want to pay for it. Call your insurance agent and say you are afraid to drive it and want them to make the shop fix it.
