Clanking noise only outside?

Is this normal to have a clanking noise? (Only hear it from outside)

is there some sticker on the bottom slapping the rear drive shaft?

The ghost of your spare tire?

Maybe a dangling or loose connector/plug swinging into something.

Did you look under your vehicle to see if anything is dangling or looks off?

Hard to tell from that video. Is the noise consistent or random? The noise speed up as the vehicle speeds up and slow down as the vehicle slows down?

Didn't you just change the rear tire? Noise coming from that area?

Rotational. No not normal. Check the brake dust covers maybe? Used to get bent slightly in on my Tacoma and they would get noisy. Agree with above check the driveshaft. Good luck.

This sounds very similar to what mine had from day one. It turned out to be an incorrectly installed backing plate for the brake. It was a rotational noise and frequency went up with the speed. Not saying that's the exact cause for you, but does sound like it.

Good job on the white letter tires... it helps with timing. Looking at the right side for most of the video, when going straight the sound times out with the letters in the same spot but gets shorter on letter distance travelled when turning right, so its likely something timed with the rotation of the wheels, specifically on the left side. Video audio isn't always reliable but it sounds kind of tinny, maybe brake dust shield?

yes, it is rotational noise, and frequency went up with speed.
But I can only hear it from outside.

My tire is flat, so I replace it spare tire on passenger rear.
And my friend notice it from outside. (I am not sure if this happens before or after my tire got flat)

Could it be broken after my tire got flat on the highway? I replace it after driving to safety spot about less than 0.2 mile.

How did you fix the backing plate for the brake?

Taking off and putting on your wheel can easily cause the dust cover to get bent and make contact with a brake rotor — I would take that wheel back off and ensure nothing is coming in contact with the wheel or rotor.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I would like to look into your Bronco's noise issue on my end.

This happened to me. It's bend really easily.
