I Picked up my bronco after work on wendsday my dealer is about an hour away. On the way home everything was great. I was over joyed. Until we made a trip to our local Sam's club that is about an hour and a half away as I slowed down coming into town. I heard a ticking or clicking It sounded like a ujoint going out. It would only happen while coasting. With my back ground as a tech I crawled under and went though the usual suspectes looked at the drive shaft the cv joints on the drive shafts. The front axles. Looked for anything that might be loose on the under carriage found nothing obvious. So I decided to take it in to the dealer and see if they could figure it out I mean I've put 900 miles on this thing and have had it for 4 days what's it going to hurt. Well I call my dealer up they tell me to bring it in. I get there and take the tech on a drive he agrees something not right. So I leave it there..the give me a loaner and I wait. That was Monday today the owner of the dealership calls me and says it it in fact the rear end. They told me that during the inspection the found unusual ware on the driver's side axle. The contacted for and sent them pics and ford informed them that it appears a shim or some other part may have been left out. So instead of just sending a the parts needed to fix the current axle they are going to send out a compete axle. With no eta as of today. So as of tomorrow the deer will have had my bronco longer then I have. By the way I am In rual kansas so for me everything is an hour away. And there is only one other bronco in my area so the dealers around me are all very inexperienced with these rigs.
Ps
my bronco is a big bend non sas with the 4.27 locker blend date of 10/12/2022 delivered to the dealer on 11/7 and picked up the evening of 11/9.
