Ok, first post on this forum. I've searched and searched, read about the whirring noise, IWE, brakes, front diff bearings, steering shaft, etc. I could almost point to any one of them at this point. Looking for some thoughts on how to narrow this down.
2016 Expedition EL 4x4. 80K miles. Cooper Discoverer AT3 4s tires with 13k on them. Tires are rotated every oil change. All other suspension and drive train components are factory originals.
I get the whirring sound and a slight vibration above 30mph. It sounds like it is coming from the driver side. It is fairly steady as speed increases. It goes away whenever the wheel is turned slightly to the right (changing lanes on interstate). Sound seems to get louder when slightly turning wheel to left. I have rotated the front tires side to side with the same results.
There is no 12-6 o'clock play (hand and bar) or 3-9 o'clock play (hand). CVs are disengaged with engine running and tires rotate freely.
