Rumbling noise on turning 2017 exp LTD EL

[16plati]

ReadyLift suggests different alignment specs.
They are listed on the last page of the instructions.

Whether that will remedy your issue I can’t say.

Yeah those are all factory ford specs there on that page.

Yup check valve and solenoid about $35. Easy 5 minute fix

So, did this fix the problem? It sounds like it did.

FYI I also run spacers on the rear wheels. I'm going to take them off and see if it stops.

Why would it be the rear if I only feel it up front and it’s a rotational sound that follows the rotation of the tires?

You're actually feeling it throughout the vehicle. When you're turning the tires are rotating the clutch packs in the rear differential.

Guarantee it’s wheel spacer related or something with the suspension angles causing this. Still looking for fix. Rumbling is specifically from the front end

Now that I had someone stand outside while I made low speed turns in and out of driveway, they said they heard it from the rear. Ie clutch packs slipping. Gonna be doing a rear diff fluid change plus friction modifier here this month to see if that remedies the issue. If not, at least it rules it out

I really don't believe its the suspension modifications. Change the rear diff fluid and add the modifier. It should take care of the problem. Its not in the front of the vehicle.

Trucks at dealer, they are starting with all new hubs, actuators, check valves and solenoid. If that doesn’t fix the issue they are gonna open up the rear diff and check clutch packs.

Replaced all IWE components under a TSB. Hubs, actuators, solenoids, all check valves. Issue gone. 4WD related

Are you under the OEM warranty or have the extended?

I have the extended but under original now. Only 40k miles on it

Ok thanks. I have the Ford extended one and it looks like they took care of you without having to fight for it. Friend of mine got rid of his 2016 F-150 FX4 for having this exact issue 3 times, it kept coming back and the dealer started saying it was out of warranty of the 4th. He makes great money and is not going to fight about it, he'll just take the loss and get something else and never buy ford again. He and is family get new vehicles every 2 to 3 years. Ford's loss.

Between my family and my wife’s we've been with this dealership for 15 years. They treat us very well

It is all about the Dealer. Some are good, some are bad. Gotta fight sometimes, speak up, and get vocal.

New here but have been tracking the same noise (binding sensation while turning) and feeling from the rear of the vehicle. Started at ~12,000 mile and after 4 visits to different Ford dealers the clutch packs were determined to the issue. Replace the clutches, new fluid with the anti friction modifier and drives like new again. All covered under warranty.

 

[16plati]

Yeah I just got upgraded carbon fiber packs, fluid, and modifier all under warranty. Smooth as butter now

After noticing the rear "grinding when cold" begin several months ago, I was in no rush to resolve only because how many rear ends have failed here? None....

This past w/e I replace the rear with 2 new qts of Non-synthetic since it was on my shelf, along with the 4oz bottle of "friction modifier" as recommended by Ford.

I felt the slighted rumble the 1st time I drove it afterwards and that was the last I've felt it. I've driven it from cold, 4 times including coming to work this morning 4:30....no grinding after backing out of my driveway.

I will warn you though, while the drain was relatively easy for a lefty to loosen, the fill took an hour to get the proper length cheater to finally break it loose.

I’ll bet your clutch packs are shot and all you e done is prolong the inevitable. They said a fluid change and modifier alone will not solve the issue long term. You need carbon fiber packs. Who do you know they aren’t messed up if all you did was drain it and not open it up to see what they look like???
