Well, my 4 door badlands SAS has developed a rather annoying rattle. I’ve tried sitting in the back while having a friend drive to identify where the rattle is coming from, and it seems to be coming from the spare tire mount itself.

I’ve tried using dry lubricant on each of the bolts without any success. Has anyone else experienced a spare tire rattle, and have found a fix?

thanks in advance!

Seems that the common problem is the bump stops for the spare tire. Remove the spare to see if the rattle goes away. If it does, then you'll have to adjust the bump stops to support the tire. Another member had to make custom bump stops as they were using a custom offset wheel. Good luck in tracing the source and getting it resolved.

I am experiencing something similar and its driving me batso! I thought mine was the tire too, but rattle sounds like its coming from the hinge area? but i need to look at it again when I have more time. Seems to be getting worse. Please update me if you find it, and I will do the same.

Yeah, record the noise.
My 4 door sas softtop makes ALL kinds of noise any time I hit any sort of crack in the pavement. Can't tell if its the softtop making sound of the rear gate.

Hello! Send us a private message with your Bronco's VIN and current mileage. I’d be happy to see what I can do to assist with this rattling issue. Thanks!
