2015 titanium front end noise HELP...


Recommended Posts

I have a 2015 titanium AWD 3.5. My issue is when braking in stop and go traffic I get a clunk and sometimes a small groan. This happens when stopping and also when accelerating. It also happens sometimes when hitting a bump. It also only happens when the car is hot "Driving for over 30 mins or over 85 degrees out" It appears to come from the passenger side.  I have done the following new struts  shocks bushings complete. New sway bar links. Taken a hammer and pry-bar to everything else and it seems tight. Anyone help me out? open to ideas...

Quick update/FIX for anyone else having similar issues. I placed a go pro camera in the wheel well and was able to see the noise and thump was the passenger side. After a few different camera angles and road tests I can see the lower ball joint had some play when stopping and accelerating. I had put a pry bar on that when it was on the lift but with the suspension unloaded it did not move.  I ordered a new ford oem lower control arm "Since you can not remove the ball joint, Crap design" Took it apart in about 30 mins and the ball joint was flopping in the breeze and able to lift up and down a good 1/4". Replaced it and all is well. Ordered drivers side also and will get it aligned.  

Weird notes. It made no noise when it was below 85 degrees unless you drove it for at least 30 mins. Under no load car on the lift no noise when driving and no noise from a pry bar.
