Rear Axle Shifted

The 2018 we just got has the same 3/4 inch offset to passenger side , so is the RAV unit that was jut turned in as a matter of fact all the ones that came through this dealership were all like that.

What was the reason for reacquiring the vehicle?

I realize this is a very old thread... but did anyone really ever figure this out?? Here i sit with a 2019... same issue. But I’m getting ready to upgrade springs and had wanted or at least considered doing minor wheel spacers to adjust the stance a bit... till i realized my stance was janky!

Nope, I just kind of yolo'd through it. It wasn't the bed. Axle seemed symmetrical, techs couldn't figure it out. So who knows. Have you been able to fully cycle the rear suspension? Is the bump-can dinged?

Dealing with the cam phaser now...

Hi Guys, I have a slightly different issue on my 2019 SCAB that I was curious if anyone ran into. After reading your replies I measured my rear end to the bed and it was only out of center by 3/32" so I would call that almost perfect based on everyone else's experience. lol.

My issue was that I checked the overall alignment and found that the front and rear both had 1.5mm of toe-in which seems good, but the problem was the rear end is pointed towards the passenger side by 1.5mm.

I don't know what the spec for this is from Ford for "acceptable" misalignment but this seems horribly misaligned. Because there is no adjustment for this, after talking to Ford service, one dealer said they had seen this on a few trucks in the last couple years and Ford allowed them to install an aftermarket shim kit to fix the issue, and I think they may have done this to some under warranty.

Has anyone had this issue or know if their Raptor's rear end it pointing to one side rather than tracking perfectly straight? The scary thing is I only wanted to check the toe-in and just happened to look at this stat, but had I not checked, would never have known based on sight or driveability. Just very frustrating like others have mentioned that a premium purchase cannot be built properly. I have already had Ford fix about 4 issues.
