(UPDATED) Rotational squeak / squeal noise below 30mph after driving

My 2.3L has started to make the chirping noise <20MPH. Indeed it is the transfer case end driveshaft boot. Specifically the narrow section mid-bellow that helps center the boot and rides on the driveshaft. Not sure what the long term solution is considering the need for some degree of plunging, unless the boot gets co-molded with a delrin ring for the support ridge, or use a less-squeaky material. This boot needs to be rather rigid to survive high RPM, unlike the wheel speed of a CV Boot. Grease will sling migrate outwards. I attempted to make a driveshaft with RCV joints for a trail rig with bad driveshaft angles. With 5.38 gears, the RCV orange boots blew at 50 MPH after 5 minutes.

Hey-just getting into this and have been reading what you all have been writing. I do not know vehicles real well...so, my Bronco is having that chirping sound as well and it is driving me bat crap crazy...are you all having success with Ford in getting that fixed and replaced? I have been to Ford twice and they basically have blown me off. So, what do I need to tell Ford to get this problem fixed?
Hi there! If you send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can look into your concerns on my end.
Yeah, So now going on 4 weeks and still waiting on a dealship that can get me in and looked at under 8 weeks of wait time.

Hey, Joshua! I can take a closer look into your squeaking noise concerns if you'd like. Can you send us a direct message with your VIN and the dealership details? To send a DM, just click on our username and select "Start Conversation".
This just started with my 2022 yesterday with @4500 miles. Now what? Go to dealer? Contact Ford Motor Company? I have a video but can’t seem to get it uploaded.

contact your selling (or local servicing) dealer to schedule an appointment with their service department.

I've had my Badlands Sasquatch for more than a year. This annoying squeaking problem made itself known around 900 miles. I've had it into the shop 4 times with the last being nearly a month in duration. The first fix was to lube the boots. The second fix was to replace the front drive shaft. The third fix was nothing done. The fourth fix to remove and rebuild the transfer case. This mechanic did an excellent job and "found the output seal where it contacts the output flange was rubbing the flange." Fix 1, 2 and 4 resulted in the noise going away for days then reappearing. The noise I'm getting is just like each of you who have posted to this great thread. I'm hopeful the Ford representative monitoring this site will take up my case as they have for so many. Thanks to all of you who have made this information available!

Update for me: I have had my Bronco in the dealer six times now and no resolution. They suggested replacing the rear shock? I am no mechanic or even close...but not sure that would cause the squak/chirp noise. The sound is driving me nuts...I love the Bronco but wow...not sure how long I wanna keep battling this issue and listening to it.
Front driveshaft is the problem. Happens when you have been driving for a bit. Have to bring it in warm, put on lift and rotate left front tire. Sings like a canary!! Replaced the front driveshaft and I have not had the noise since. Fingers crossed, been about 4k miles or so since the repair.
Yep. When your dealer says "drop it off" tell them no. You'll bring it when they can have someone look at it hot. Parking it and waiting until they get to it is pointless.
I had to take mine to a off-road shop they diagnosed the issue and had the front drive shaft out and called Ford and got me a new replacement and it's gone. @Ford I want my money back for coming out of my pocket for this. I'm pissed.

Why would you pay for this instead of just taking it in for free warranty service?
and then demand your money back “because you are pissed”?
