Help needed with noise

[duckgumbeaux]

I have a loaded 2024 Wildtrak. For a few weeks I have been hearing noises from the right rear when I take off or start into a turn. This is all on paved roads. The WT has a little less than 6,000 miles. The dealer as well as his service guy have never heard anything like this from a Bronco. If anyone has an idea of what to look for, I would appreciate it. I really like this Bronco but cannot stand the noises. Seems to be suspension noises but who knows. I think I am going to give the dealer about 10 days before I decide on what to do.

For sure I will not be buying a Ford

Good morning. Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and dealer info so I can look into this noise concern on my end?

You have to pinpoint where the noise is coming from to troubleshoot it further. From the suspension, from the brakes, does it happen when you apply the brakes or don't apply them? Maybe it's coming from the inside? Best thing is to have someone outside listening while it's driven around a corner and see where the noise is coming from and go from there. Also check all of the basics- nuts and bolts tight, etc. Service tech's these days are not the best. My 2021 Miata was making a noise from the left front area. Brought it in into the dealer, tech could not find the noise. I got the car back, jacked up and checked all fasteners to see if anything was loose. Sway bar bolts were really loose. I tightened them up, noise gone. Waste of time bringing it to the dealer.

Chassis ears can pinpoint a noise.

What type of noise? Is it a scraping noise, or thunk that goes away after acceleration and turn, or tapping that varies with rpms, is it metal on metal, or dull like something hitting the underbody?

I appreciate all the views but does anyone have any i

It is more like a thunk at lower speeds when accelerating from a dead stop and when slowly turning corners. Dealer has had it for a week so probably picking up Monday and back to square one.

I park in an elevated parking lot.

That gives me the opportunity to hear the squeaks noises as I'm driving up. The noise bounce off the concrete walls and helps with diagnos / get an idea where or what causing them.

Good luck, they are annoying!!!
