Car came in like that. Customer wanted the ac checked, that’s all 🤷♂️.
It got stuck obviously and she admitted to trying to yank it and the wheel to get it out which just made it worse
...a $1,000 mistake for her!
...We had to replace the whole rear end. New tub sheets , subframe, etc.
...We actually just had this hoist serviced and I guess the last guy installed the cable wrong. His co-worker was not impressed.
Probably never changed the fluid. This is a Ford 6f50 but see it all the time in 6f35s. Fluid gets cooked and broken down then the fluid pressure just isn’t there.

2020 Expedition, purchased yesterday. CS they hear and feel clunk noise from passenger front area of vehicle when accelerating/braking/turning
...The frame is junk now. We just had to clean it up a little so we can salvage the parts that are good. Air tank, wheels and tires, air lines, electrical. Stuff like that.
