Front end making moaning sound when going over bumps

[Murfman]

I noticed my Wildtrak start making moaning sounds whenever I go over bumps. Even the smallest bump it makes a moaning sound. I can make it moan while coasting and applying the brakes quickly. I think it is the shocks or bushings but the dealer can't pinpoint the issue. Has anyone else noticed this in their Pony?

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco's moaning sound issue on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

DM if you want to hear what it sounds like. 14 second video and I guess it is too big for the forum thread.

I came here for the comments. I suppose I'm a little early yet.

Maybe it longs for a more aggressive driver

Well they think they found the cause. Left front shock/spring is rubbing on the inboard side of the vehicle. Looking at it with the Service Manager, it looks as though the shock is bent. Spring bows inward. They have ordered a new one. We will see if that resolves it.

you can see the bow in the spring. Sorry for the blurry one but it shows the bow.

Hopefully. I blast the radio to avoid hearing noises. Im in denial. Bowed out spring definitely could be an issue,prolly binding shock somewhat too

even with radio at 10-12, you can hear the moan going over bumps!

Not the first time a bent shaft has caused moaning...
