Is this the driveshaft boot issue?

[Snowdogyyz]

The bronco makes a chirping noise once warm and only when moving. Sitting idle in park- no noise. Sitting idle in drive- no noise. Only happens when in motion. I think I read others with this noise it was the driveshaft boot?
Listen and you’ll hear it despite the wind noise.

Certainly sounds like it, and fits the description of the typical scenario. (Once warmed up, high pitch chirp/squeak, at low speed etc.)

Thanks! That’s what I was thinking after viewing that thread. Going to call and get an appointment set up.

Yes, that's the same noise I had. I ended up getting under the truck and squeezing the boot sliding it forward and backward as much as I could and now my noise is gone. I did that several times one week and the noise got less and less each time. I never did make it to the dealer to have them listen.

So what is the dealer doing for this? I’ve had the same noise for almost 2 years now. Off and on. Boot looks fine, no sign of tear etc.

Trying this to see if I have the same luck!

Update so far-
I moved the boot on the front driveshaft back and forth numerous times yesterday and drove it about 30 minutes on the highway. Came into my neighborhood where it’s usually very obvious and- no noise! I went out today and moved it a few times again- went out for awhile and again no noise. Not going to say it’s fixed the noise yet- want to drive a few more days and see. But so far, so good.

I got the same issue with my new Bronco. It's a the dealer right now. Did you ever get yours permanently fixed?

Not yet. Took it in and it wouldn’t make the noise. Have an open ticket on it if it returns, which as of yet- it hasn’t.

ah - ok - yeah, mine was still doing it - albeit quieter - when I brought it in yesterday

Same issue here. I did the same thing you did ("message" the boot) and the sound is gone. Thanks so much for the tip! I wonder what this does? .. spread the grease around so that it doesn't cake up and make noise?

What boot? The one on the driveshaft after the transfer case?
