My car was rear-ended, the damage was pretty severe because I had a trailer hitch and the hit was strong enough to damage the frame. the insurance has restored the ca by replacing the right rail. But now when I drive the car is pulling right when I accelerate let's say from 40mph to 60mph. The body shop has made the wheel alignment twice, but the car still pulls right. What I have noticed at a low speed e.g. 40-50mph when coasting it's driving straight. However, it's still pulling right even when cruising/coasting on 70-80mph. The body shop doesn't know how to fix it because the wheel alignment specs show everything within a norm. Do you think the replacement of the frame parts could cause the issue? But then why wheel alignments show everything in spec? When I drive on highways there is constant pressure on hands to keep the wheel, so the car drives straight... that's pretty annoying..

@omar so why in the US there is no recommendation for PTU lube? PS. 2016 MY is gen2 or gen3?

Thanks for the replies! Obviously, I wouldn't be able to change the PTU fluids myself. Do you think I can stop by the local Ford dealership and ask to perform the PTU fluids change? How much this procedure might cost?

on what milage is it recommended to replace the PTU fluids?

please post trade in offer here, I wonder how much a dealer will want for a trade in

how much the dealer wants for the upgrade?

what kinda vacuum do you have? the leaves stuck too deep inside as you see on the photos...

I was interested also to replace with 18" but ended up driving on 20" for last 2 years.... and still think to replace with 18"

Any idea how to clean these pockets? and prevent from future clogging (usually it leaves)?

I've found rim replacement. But it says re-manufactured, which means it's not original right? I'm afraid new rim will be low quality. https://www.autopartswarehouse.com/wheels/oe-replica-wheels/wheel/cci/ctcaly10046u90?apwcid=gglpla&gclid=CjwKCAiA_ZTfBRBjEiwAN6YG4VKbfNRNZlf20f3RMiEkAQBAscqtDxwWLJcARcWzO_cOwqs74QQOgBoCncQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds https://www.carparts.com/details/CCI/Wheel/CTCALY10046U90.html?TID=gglpla&origin=pla&gclid=CjwKCAiA_ZTfBRBjEiwAN6YG4Xo4bW-vWq_KbkrOxYj-wANhJ22KKVj0pntYtZrzxoVkoo3mghEiMxoC6ycQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds https://www.jcwhitney.com/details/CCI/Wheel/CTCALY10046U90.html?TID=gglpla&origin=pla_with_promotion&gclid=CjwKCAiA_ZTfBRBjEiwAN6YG4V4t69M_puYNHyTUaQ2GzNW9eSD6Ozcev3QNtH6IGLXERUrOXW0M6xoCCIkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds http://www.partstrain.com/store/details/CCI/Wheel/CTCALY10046U90.html?source=gglpla&gclid=CjwKCAiA_ZTfBRBjEiwAN6YG4U5RlMmz5RJPHUJ_Q_sFMSHvJSbS-0YXZgEPLE2hWm5ShNNaRzp2XRoC-lkQAvD_BwE
