Noisy Suspension

[Graybs]

I'm wondering if the noise I keep getting is normal or not. First, when using trail turn assist (yes, only on slippery surfaces) I get a sound from the drivers front side that sounds like what I can only describe as the sound the springs used to make on old lift up garage doors. I also get this noise when driving on dirt or sand or any uneven surface really, mostly when turning. I spoke with one other Bronco owner out on the trail, and he said he gets a similar noise using trail turn assist.

So is this normal?

My rig has 5k miles on it, and it has always made this noise when off roading, or even on the road when there is an uneven surface.

Trail turn is using the ABS system. Yes it will make noise.

Are you only getting the noise when trail turn assist is on? Like Silver-bolt mentioned, trail turn assist is utilizing the ABS system so it will make noise

I get the noise whenever I drive hard over any uneven surface. It just happens to be a similar noise as the one that happens while using trail turn assist.

That would be the traction/stability control using the ABS to maintain traction

Interesting. I'll try turning the traction stability control off next time and see if the noise goes away.
