2022 Bronco Wildtrak transfer case backlash

Should it make that noise driving though? I would th8nk like mentioned, it would have some sort of pressure and not spun but for sure when I slow down and accelerate I hear it. Can't really tell at high speed because wind noise but I know at least like 30-40mph its there and at slower speeds. But more so when braking or on acceleration

Also thank you. If you post it that would be awesome too. Thanks again

No, It wouldn’t be making that noise when the vehicle is moving.
It would be spinning smoothly. The only reason it’s making the noise is because you’re physically/manually moving it back and forth. It wouldn’t do that while actually driving.

So that can't be the noise I hear then?. I gotta find this noise. It's driving me crazy.

It's hard to say for sure, but since the noise that you're creating by twisting the shaft does it on every bronco, I would assume that isn't the noise you're hearing. Otherwise everyone would hear the same noise.

I'm super busy at work right now, but I will get that video of mine sometime before I leave to so you can compare it.

no worries, anytime you can. thanks for your time and effort on this. I will try to get a video driving as well to see if the phone picks up the noise or if it only gets wind nose.

Alright not the best video, but here is a quick one that should give you an idea of how they sound the same.
It was a little difficult to get my hand on the driveshaft without taking my trans skid off, and I just didn’t have the time

This is while driving. I dont know if you can hear it well. Ours do sound similar when parked though.

I definitely hear it. To me, it seems too slow to be a driveshaft/drivetrain problem.

Honestly my first instinct is either something caught in your brakes (hitting the rotor during rotation) or maybe a backing plate barely scraping?
Really hard to tell from a video though.

Just had the same kind of noise on my f150. Ended up being a rock 🪨 in the brakes like Ducati1098 said. Jack it up and spin your wheels.

Ive had it in the air and spin the wheels, no noise. Had tires rotated and told the guy about the noise and asked to check if anything is loose or looks work from scraping. He said it all looked normal, no wear. I might just get it in the air and go through everything with the wheel off myself

Definitely sounds like it's with the tire rotation - can pretty well time the noise per 1 tire revolution in your second video - like the brake shield or something

 

[rodriguezmf1250]

well, I figured I would post the update just in case this is something someone else comes across.... Never thought to look or check, but the noise for me was one of the beadlock rings that was loose. like 3 of the bolts on the rear driver side wheel were loose, so when i would drive the ring would shake, with the rotation of the tire and make noise. not super loose, as when i had the rig in the air and spun the wheel by hand it wouldnt make the noise, had to had a faster spin i guess... I found out by taking the wheel off and as i went to put the wheel back on, i was sitting on the floor to use my legs to help lift the tire and i put my head on the ring to stablize it and i heard it.... so, check your bolts on the bead lock ring...... lol

I had some bad noises coming from mine & when I grabbed that driveshaft, I could lift it up & down quite a bit.
Ended up changing the whole driveshaft, which was like $320? and I did the pinion seal on the front diff while I was at it
