Oh my bad, I thought you were talking about where it enters the t-case like f150’s. But yeah I guess that would make sense. The workshop manual doesn’t say anything about that section being serviceable, but I’d be curious to see if that is the concern.There has to be some place in the drive line to deal with the fore/aft movement of the driveshaft as the rear axle wraps up. Mine is in the middle, but doesn’t appear serviceable.
Hey there! I can look into your Bronco’s brake concerns on my end if you’d like. Will you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership info?
No, it's not that. I'm 99% sure it's the slip yoke. It only happens if when I come to a "slightly spirited" stop. If the nose dives and then comes back up I can feel it when the nose comes back up. If I let off of the brakes a bit while the nose is diving to let it come up slowly then I don't feel it until I let off the brakes completely on takeoff.
I am experiencing what you are referring to. Like the auto/hill hold is taking a bit to release. Did you ever find a resolution? I have a 22 WT with almost 6k miles.
No, I havent taken it in yet either. seems like if I engage the parking brake and release it, its less noticeable for a while. Still testing this out
My dealer said they couldn't feel it. I told them to test it again and they felt it, said it was "normal," but that they couldn't do anything about it because there wasn't a Ford TSB on it. *SIGH*
Same, Ford needs to get a TSB on this thump, so many of us have it. There are threads on this site where users with good dealers have fixed the issue with a new driveshaft.
I have this issue to. Sometimes it thumps pretty good and seems to be getting a little worse. I just chalked it up to normal driveline slack, but maybe I'll try a driveshaft anyway and report back.
If you haven’t seen the other threads, it was claimed to be the front driveshaft. Mine is getting worse and happens more routinely, started over a year ago.
