Just curious if anyone has experienced this. 2020 stock ST 46k miles. Had lionhearts 295/40/R20 installed today. When they removed the old tires they found the attached in the 2 front tires. This explains the very unpleasant ride. Unfortunately found both front CV boots are torn.

If still under warranty, axles are covered under powertrain.

Expired the first of January unfortunately.
Are you a DIY'er? Simplist way is to buy two new front axles and swap them. Will also need some front differential oil to top off after spillage on the passenger side.
