“...for these engines in the subject vehicles, the pressure on the main bearings due to the engine configuration is such that, if the aforementioned machining debris adheres to the bearings and operation of the engine continues at higher loads over time, failure of the bearings may occur..."
I'm on It:
The IIHS and NHTSA are the biggest drivers of rate increases. The safer vehicles are made, the more they cost to repair. The ratio of profit to loss may remain the same, but the higher that rates go, so does the amount of profit.
We could save thousands in vehicle and insurance costs by doing without all the safety technology, and just welding a rusty railroad spike to the steering wheel hub, pointing inches from your chest. Ok, NOW go out and tailgate in the rain!
Here is the thing-how much of an edge case do you make it? According to the Dept of Transportation, average distance driven in a day is roughly 40 miles. I get it might not work for you (and of course your the most important person to yourself :p) but it might work for other people...that is what needs to be "figured out", just like unrealistic demands of a 400-500 mile range EV when the vast majority of ICE go about 300-400 per tank aren't best either.
Its finding what a large amount of customers deem acceptable, but yet the vast majority of buyers "overbuy" a vehicle that they actually don't need, just because of perceived needs.
I saw something the other day-what is going on is that algorithms are being used in all industries pushing pricing up on everything from Amazon to rentals, which is driving inflation along with other things. I think your seeing that directly with the Bronco and the amount of huge price increases on it over the past couple years-huge demand vs limited supply and pricing being adjusted (like the Raptor), all without major impact to Ford's bottom line-Most industries are still pulling in record profits even with the various economic headwinds we've been having also.
Changed steering drag link new bilstein steering stabilizer has 2 degrees caster shims just got an alignment. Over 30 mph the steering wheel shakes back and forth vibrates. It doesn’t have complete death wobble.
if anybody knows what’s going on any help would be appreciated

I’d call it an industry wide profit taking where all manufacturers decided to raise prices, knowing that competitors are doing the same. So is that a form of “game theory” or cartel where they all know that if everyone raise prices then everyone will make more money.
