My 1993 F150 Extended Cab 4X4 that makes a ticking or clicking noise when I make left turns. I pulled apart the hubs and nothing appears to be out of the ordenary. The hubs are 2mo old. I replaced the auto hubs with Warn manual ones. I cannot figure out the problem. The hubs are not staying engaged and all the c-clips and lock rings were installed correctly. Anyone have this problem or have an awnser? Thanks for the help Guys. Jrpotts01

 

Mine is doing the exact same thing. Sounds like a playing card in the spokes of a bicycle. I just bought new brakes and wheel bearings, so I was hoping that I'd find the problem while doing that job. My hubs are less than a year old, and are the Superwinch manuals. I was thinking that the hubs were the suspect, because the sound is just like the sound my auto hubs made when they went bad, but I am hoping it's a bearing.


Adrian - You got an idea here?

 

The playing card is exactly what mine sounds like.

 

yep, got the same thing... in fact i am on a mission today to find it, i found a possible source lastnight but im not sure of it.

Update...
i narrowed it down to about 3 possible areas. still no luck though... but ill try some more this week.
anyone ever ask ford about the noise???

 

Anyone have an idea here?

 

I can't figure it out to save my life. I took both my hubs apart this weekend and everything is good. I'm going to have a friend sit in the bed and listen to see if they can better locate it.
