2018 F150 grinding noise
Asked by Guru3ZY4R Oct 31, 2020 at 09:45 AM about the 2018 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have a 2018 Ford F-150 4x4 that has a grinding
noise that starts about 1-3 minutes after going
down the road. It goes away and might not come
back for a few days maybe a week. It sounds like
maybe a wheel bearing or something. But why
would it go away for that length of time then come
back? I took it in to the local dealer who had it for 3
days, but they couldn’t get it to duplicate the noise.
They said they have no idea.

This noise seems to be coming from the drivers side.

It is the 4 wheel drive intermittently engaging
Thank you. I have heard that from others. Is there a fix for that? Vacuum line?

More than likely just replace the IWE actuators in the hubs.. .Should fix the problem...
Use your warranty before it runs out!
