Could the rotors on the front be warped? Pickups are good for warped rotors if lugs are tightened in excess of specs. At highway speed, if you lot utilize the brakes you lot tin can ordinarily feel the pulsation of a warped rotor.

What a shop would do is identify the vehicle on a lift, let the engine run in 2WD drive and iv WD and see if they can locate the problem with the wheels turning off the ground. They could probably locate the problem at idle with no weight on the interruption if drive line related.

We have a 2016 F150. The dealer service guy says Ford are aware of the issue (shaft bearing). We took it in iii months ago and they greased it, that lasted around 7 weeks. Brought it back in, did it again. Went today and they are now replacing them (only told us the problem volition re-occur until Ford figure this out. In my listen, we take been sold a faulty vehicle. I am non happy with having to become to the service shop every eight weeks and drive a rental vehicle. I'm in shock that this has been a problem (apparently since 2011). Obviously the reply is for a sealed unit (deplorable I am not mechanical) but Ford take not come up with the goods?

Hey guys, this was definitely an issue with the IWE. The dealer ship had my truck a couple unlike times and didn't come up with a ready. After reading a few posts I took it in over again and let them take it for a calendar week. I told them I believe it has something to do with the IWE. It is exactly as you all depict it, grinding when going wearisome or turning and don't hear it at higher speeds. Also, it goes abroad when you lot shift into 4A or 4H 4L. They found that the vaccum line was loose on one side and information technology seems to accept fixed the outcome. We volition see.

It sounds similar different people might be having different problems only I can speak to ane. If you have 4wd and are getting a grinding racket conspicuously coming from effectually the wheels in 2wd it obviously is part of the IWE organization. nine times out of 10 information technology starts from a leak in one of the vacuum lines. Information technology is a very cheap fix if y'all tin narrow down where the leak is coming from. If you do not fix it early plenty, yous will grind down your hubs and have to commencement replacing more expensive parts. If you practise not fix the vacuum leak you lot will continue with the same noise.

Usually has to do with a vacuum problem and then they are replacing some vacuum switch most the hub on the front wheel(s?). Interesting video on YouTube goes into great particular on how a failing vacuum pressure makes the gears grind but non engage 4x4.

If it is from the wheels it is because the Motorcar-Locking Hub Actuator have lost their seal and collected a bunch of water. I just recently replaced them on my f-150 and information technology solved the problem. It was an easyish repair. This is what you lot need only find your correct model/make and year. Cheque the vacuum solenoid to see if water is leaking onto it. It is either on the right or left side nether the hood straight up against the firewall. Brand sure no water is draining on to it. If it is getting water on it use some sort of material that is waterproof and make a housing for it that will deflect whatsoever draining water. https://www.1aauto.com/machine-locking-hub-actuator/i/1ashs00588? f=597225&y=2005&utm_campaign=gb_csv_br&utm_content=SHS&gclid=Cj0KC QiA2o_fBRC8ARIsAIOyQ-ldI8rNo9uerct-CwgJcbeblMEW335oZYmofVI_5I- 9jHJi_9uWIR4aAga9EALw_wcB hope this helps. lmk if this solved it.

Everyone claims they have the same problem, just yous're actually all chatting about slightly similar unlike bug. To clear up the all the 13th generation F150 problems alot of yous new owners think y'all have, read into the Borg Warner variable torque on need (TOD) transfer case your truck came equipped with. Lariat and college model F150'south which are mostly all equipped with 4A are programed to appoint the IWE's even when the truck is in 2H for the first several miles after any common cold commencement. It'southward an embedded strategy programmed in the frimware so that if yous need to select 4A at highway speed for any reason the truck tin practise information technology confidently incase if any internals had become ceased. It's suposedly a precautionary measure Ford engineers implemented to cause less metal fatigue in the transfer case, instead it wears downwards your IWE's. I'm not saying i method is improve than the other. Owners in common cold weather states volition discover it more than others. If your brand new F150 is sounding like the IWE's are engaging when 2H is selected and if y'all ain a Lariat or higher trim parcel that'southward considering information technology is. Ford programmed your 2015 or newer F150 to do that and it'southward normal. There'south no need to make countless dealership trips and blame Ford engineering or assembly workers. Information technology's unfortunate Ford dealers don't tell owners this upon buy, but nearly dealerships have no clue. Heck, you'd exist lucky plenty in my expanse merely to find a sales person who knows what an FX4 package is.

information technology is a vacuum leak in the line leading to the 4wheel accuator behind the hub. The vacuum line gets a slight leak that only leaks when pulled tight when turning. It causes the 4wheel system to stay half engaged. The vacuum suction is what pulls the acuator out abroad from the hub to allow the truck to roll in ii wheel. Information technology will brand the sound y'all are talking almost, make information technology seem similar it shifts funny, and rob y'all of gas mileage. Simple gear up tho, if you are not replacing the accuator and hub assembly because you lot have immune it to happen to long, yous only just replace the vacuum lines. I did mine custom and made sure to allow more room and protective layers vesture needed to avert time to come leaks. Promise this helps.

I take a 2013 Ford Expedition Limited EL with the 2H 4A 4H 4L Borg Warner Transfer case. I have had an Axle bearing type dissonance radiating from the Left Forepart since I bought it around 43k in 2018 (currently under 46k). The Noise is the same with 2H 4A 4H positions.I have replaced the Left Hub Associates three times (Right Side in one case), Cleaned and vacuum tested Both Front Actuators, Replaced Left Axle Shaft Associates, Installed New Rotors and Pads, and still the aforementioned Axle Bearing Noise that starts around ten mph and gets quiet around 70mph plus. (Dissonance was originally noticeable from peradventure 35 mph to 55 mph). I went to a privately-owned auto shop earlier today and they diagnosed this equally a Bad Front Differential. They are currently working up estimates to either repair or supercede. I wanted to Note the shop had the Expedition on a elevator and placed a Stethoscope in different areas to verify problem and also showed me a sample of the Front Differential Fluid which was Light Grey-Colored-- which they said was also a Bad Sign (Information technology did non look Metallicy). Also to Note, when on the Lift, even when in 2H, the front wheels would exist turning with the rear wheels. To me information technology looked (as well) like the transfer example motor was not Disengaging the forepart Differential, but the mechanic and store owner said at that place is fluid movement in the transfer instance that causes the front driveshaft-and- Differential to turn all the fourth dimension--fifty-fifty in 2H (I will phone call this Fluid Propulsion). They said they saw this in an Astro AWD van a couple weeks ago (Astro is All-Time AWD -- I Don't come across how this can compare). Anyhow, I have read a lot of online threads from people with the front howl/beam bearing sound and thought this might assist someone, or mayhap my electric current shop is wrong on the Differential Diagnosis and/or Transfer Case "Fluid Propulsion" statements. I do know there is a difference in the operation of Transfer Cases on F150's and Expeditions that accept the 4A option, and the internal clutch arrangement contained inside.

If you lot're having noise coming from the forepart end at depression speeds it is probable the 4wd actuator. I just changed mine in my 2013 F150.

Replaced driver side wheel assembly (bearing and abs sensor). Changed front diff oil, no discoloring and looked adept. Noise still in that location. My abs low-cal has been coming on intermittently. Next I'm changing the passenger side cycle assembly (bearing and abs sensor). If that doesn't accept care of the problem I would have to say that I'll exist rebuilding the front diff. Very frustrating Ford. Please sole this problem.

Ford finally resolved my forepart end problem - hubs / IWEs / actuators / vacuum lines / check valves / tires, etc were replaced by the dealer. Then Ford sent in an engineer to diagnose the trouble. They supercede the complete differential axle assembly unit. Event resolved. My advice is to read up on your State's Lemon laws, and accept audio-videos of the effect. Null confronting the dealer techs only they make coin past turning in equally many jobs as possible. Good Luck.

So today afterward pretty much giving up on trying to self-diagnose the problem of the grinding noise, I reached out to a Ford mechanic on the app Just Answers. I explained that I take inverse out the brake pads (three times), rotors (twice), calipers on each front wheel, the hub assemblies, on the front end wheels, and I still have a grinding noise at low speeds. (less than 20mph). He pulled upwards a bulletin from Ford, that explained that the Planet Gear Assembly and the Rear Band could exist the culprit, so it is all transmission related. I was actually thinking this today. Gold star for me, but I was thinking I needed a transmission flush, so perhaps not a gilt star per say. So I am going to reach out to a transmission shop tomorrow and run into if they have knowledge of this. The bulletin says if for Xl and XLT trucks and I have a 2015 F150 Lariat FX4, but I assume if nosotros accept the same manual, it could be the same problem. I was thinking the IWE'south every bit well for the longest, I even changed out the solenoid and the check valve, I tin can go into 4 wheel drive and the grinding still persists. So I recall that throws out the IWE and any vacuum related bug. Thoughts????

This is the bulletin that I was sent via a Ford mechanic: 45452 2015 F-150 Forty And Or XLT Vehicles Equipped With An Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly (ESOF) Transfer Case - Rotational Noise - Congenital On Or Before 6/xvi/2015 Some 2015 F-150 XL and or XLT vehicles equipped with an ESOF transfer case, built on or before 6/sixteen/2015, may exhibit a rotational noise from the transfer case while in 2-wheel high (2H) that does not change significantly when shifted to 4-bike loftier (4H). The racket tin can exist described as ticking, scraping or rubbing noise that occurs betwixt 32 Km/h (20 MPH) to lxxx Km/h (50 MPH). The noise is most noticeable at lower speeds and will increase frequency with speed. To eliminate this concern, replace the Front end Planet Carrier (7A398) and Band Rear (7A153). Refer to WSM, Department 308-07. Apply applicable labor operations from Section 7 of theSLTS manual.

wscottparks, The Ford mechanic on the app is referring to the ring and pinion gear in your front differential - not the transmission. It is possible the forepart differential could exist the same on an Xl, XLT, express, Platinum, king ranch, but the Transfer Case is different beneath the express model. The Limited and in a higher place models take what is called a 4 mode transfer case where in that location is a four Car feature. The Lesser models do not accept the 4 Automobile feature and are considered iii mode. The forepart differential noise(commonly audio from left front) usually occurs on the 4 mode F-150s or expeditions. Nigh likely has to do with four mode causing the front differential to free Spin all the time versus just part of the fourth dimension-- even continuous in 2H--not just the first few miles and not just when common cold outside. This is the role where I tin can't get anyone from Ford to be in agreement on whether or not it'south supposed to spin all the time or only part time. Simply mine spins all the time.

After further review, I am besides thinking the universal U joints may demand to exist replaced. I did some reading and video watching and the symptoms seem to be in line with my truck. Grind at low speeds, then runs peachy afterwards a certain speed. So I'1000 going to go under the truck and see if there is any play with the drive shaft.
TallFordGuy, did you ever get your noise resolved? I just bought a 2013 Expedition Limited and it has a light humming sound in the left front from about 20-50 mph. Information technology'due south virtually noticeable at about 42 mph. I've also noticed that it'southward more pronounced with just a little left steering input. I've already replaced the left front wheel bearing assembly and verified that front hub actuators are disengaging in 2WD.

i have a 2016 F150 same grinding upshot. Dealer establish metal shavings in from differential. I will demand to replace or rebuild differential. F150 has 64k miles and is non covered under warranty. No assurances that rebuild will terminal any longer or equally long.
Guru1TQ2R, Is your 2016 F150 a limited, platinum, or Eddie Bauer with a 4 mode selector for the 4 wheel drive on the dash? I have a solution to avert this problem in the future, simply I need to ostend this first. Thank you

Marco that is non abs. That is the iv wheel drive servo. When y'all flip switch on nuance to 4 wheel drive vacuum is sent to that matter that engages the four bicycle drive. Different from the former lock out hubs nosotros had to do to become four wheel drive. But this volition crusade a racket when toast. Effectually 65 to 70 bucks for office online.

I have a 2018 F150 Raptor. 60,000 miles Started out squeaking, then grinding and pulling all over the place. I delayed calling the dealer because I'm stupid ! LOL Finally chosen and they couldn't get me in for two weeks. It got so bad that the bolt from the lower ball joint wore a groove into the rim and tire. According to the dealer, the wheel bearing went and considering I waited so long it damaged the iv bike bulldoze. I have a premium extended warrenty simply the dealer says they can't use information technology because I never should accept continued driving. I'm and so screwed. Simply..... if this is a known result like everyone above says, shouldn't they cover me? Is it worth pushing the consequence or will it merely lead to aggravation and no results?

fords are known for having bad iwe gears in them ford knows this but has never made a recall for them this started in the late 80's if i retrieve right . i take a 2013 f150 4x4 it will do the same matter you are describing but if i put in 4 wheel information technology stops correct away. sounds like a grinding in it .mine is coming fromt he left front side. also they are known for the abs module going bad on them which can cause the same effect or the abs sensor will also crusade this . took mine several times to the dealer no answers couldnt effigy it out . got ahold of a mechanic thats worked on fords for 50 years and he told me nigh it . replaced the iwe gear on the left side and sure enough the problem is gone . ford doesnt want to brand a recall on this cause they would take recalls as far back to the 80' on trucks that are still on the road . lot of money to be lost there . so until they ever decide to set this problem information technology will remain fifty-fifty the new ones have the aforementioned problem not all but quite a few

Possibly Speedometer Cablevision. My speed cable makes a grind noise.
Change the check valve in the IWE vacuum organisation. Information technology's up by the brake booster. There is an updated valve and it cured mine immediately after a month of chasing my tail.
Mine does exactly what you guys described. It is knocking noise when going boring or turning and don't hear it at higher speeds. Likewise, it goes abroad when you shift into 4A or 4H 4L. Just for grins we turned into a 2wd truck and removed the forepart drive shaft. The noise completely went away by doing this. I have no inkling if this helps anyone narrow it downward some or not. It was just nice to not have that knocking sound for a while. The transfer case was replaced. The front actuators were replaced. New 4wd vacuum control solenoid. And of grade information technology is yet doing it. We even stuck a gopro underneath and collection information technology around. Information technology looked similar when nosotros heard the nocking noise the 4wd was engaging and disengaging. This volition really make it hard for me to get a Ford again. I know all trucks have there problems, but I'1000 gear up to take my chances with some other 1 after this mess.
Then ive been having issues with my 2016 F150 40 FX4. ive replaced the wheel hub on both sides and i noticed that my 4x4 stays engaged fifty-fifty subsequently i start the truck but once i put it in 4x4 and back in 2x4 it stays in 2x4 until i shut information technology off then i exercise the same affair again but i noticed all of this to late and now my 4x4 diff sounds like its grinding on the drivers side has anyone ells had this issue
mine also stays in iv×four after switching back to 2x4. i turn it to 2x4 then back upward (6-8 feet) until it disengages. i can hear a slight clunking noise when its out of 4x4. i havent had whatsoever grinding noises from the differential so far.

Ok and then ive been working on the diag on the 4x4 staying engaged even subsequently i showtime it. I used a vacuum testing kit and examination every line i could think of the check valve and cylinoide and fifty-fifty unplugged the cylinoide and the vacuum system has started to work once more so if you are having this issue i would jack upwards the front and i would pull the vacuum line off the cylinoide and use the tester on the line the feeds your iwe and spin the wheels to meet if your 4x4 is disengaged if information technology is your cylinoide and cheque valve are more then likely bad if information technology notwithstanding stays engaged your iwe might be bad i hope this helps some of you it might save yous some diag fees because the dealer told me nothing was wrong that they could observe and notwithstanding charged me 300 for the 3 hours they spent on information technology
100% IWE vacuum system. Once they wear down, they lose suction causing slight connection in your 4x4 mechanisms. I had mine replaced towards the finish of winter which stock-still information technology. Just accept to convince ford dealer to do information technology. Unfortunately 7 months later I'm hearing a clicking noise from the aforementioned spot, rather than the rub noise that was previously fixed.
It's the cv joint
2 people establish this helpful.
Then if your IWE fails and y'all dont catch it shortly enough. Yes the cv axle will get-go to fail and yous can start tracing impairment back to your 4x4 front diff as well because of all the excess vibration and over employ of the bearings in the diff because the 4x4 should never be used at high speeds. Ive got my truck back on the road over again and it drives great.

For me it was an idler pulley . Took it to shop they couldn't discover the problem? Thought it was bicycle bearing. Brought the truck home gave the idler caster a shot of liquid wrench problem solved? Changing it tho. Peradventure some of the Ford boys could utilise this ane. Only on left turns it made the weird rotational grinding noise. Anyhow that'due south a cheap set up. Better than 400 bucks for a wheel begetting.If your brakes and bicycle bearings are good it's worth a endeavor.
Well if the idler pulley is bad you wont feel the vibration in the front end. audio and feeling tin make a desperate difference in diag if you have forepart terminate noise without any vibration your problem may be contained to to the engine or something attached to the frame because vibration in the steering bike and noise from the front end is more than likely a bulldoze railroad train or interruption issue
I own a 2016 XLT. About a month ago I had my tires rotated along with the oil alter. A few days after I started to hear a noise that sounded similar metal on metal. I put the front terminate in the air with my elevator and rotated my drivers side forepart tire. I could clearly hear the noise and understood that it was coming from the bearing. I had to drive an hour that solar day north to selection something up and on the way back the dissonance got to be extremely loud. I pulled over into a gas station to see my front left tire sitting at an angle. (Almost like a Razors forepart tires). I had information technology towed dorsum to the shop and caught a ride home. Information technology saturday there for about four days and they ended up replacing everything in the forepart of the left side. Now a calendar month later, I was headed home from piece of work and simply got to the lesser of this holler trying to get to the top of the other side when I started to hear a high pitched metallic scraping racket, Sort of like what I had heard earlier. I could non go more than about xx mph and could barely press into the gas without hearing the noise. I got it to the shop (barely). Its been in that location over a calendar week and what the mechanic told me is that, "He has absolutely no idea of whats going on with it." When he would put it into 4 bicycle bulldoze the noise would quit all together. Take it back out of iv bike bulldoze and information technology would start up again. He has already replaced the vacuum hose to the part that controls the switch betwixt two and 4 wd. He replaced the whole electronic differential locking thingy. Do yous think this could be the outcome? Or perhaps something in the transfer case? Because this seems to exist the same effect a lot of you have had. If anybody knows the answer help a boyfriend ford owner out please.
It's in your transfer case most likely

Your front differential needs to be rebuilt

I would like to throw my feel into this word. I bought a 2015 F150 4x4 make new in 2015. We have non had whatever real issues until the last couple of years when we started to hear a slight grinding in the front end. I am certain that nosotros had pointed this out when nosotros had taken the vehicle in for service and it could never be replicated and the dealership told us that they could not offer a solution. Well now that the warranty is expired, they accept miraculously been able to quickly identify that at that place is an event with the 4x4 components and we now accept to replace both wheel hubs and the IWEs too as the vacuum hose components. Of class this is now at my cost and they volition not accept whatsoever responsibility. I am at present seeing many posts about this particular topic and how it seems that the service department cannot find a solution to this grinding dissonance before the warranty expires!
You become go tires rotated and what happens alot is the rim gets stuck on the front end hub from corrosion and the mechanics accept a sledge hammer to the tire and wack it from the back to gratis the tire off the hub It messes up the IWE seen it several times and read it on line.
