Front end creaking when turning full left.

[Geoff100]

Hey guys I have a pretty pronounced creak when making a sharp left turn. Doesn’t look like anything is rubbing, I have winter tires installed, the wheel diameter is the same as the stock wheel. The winter tires are narrower. 2022 ranger with 10000km.

While driving or even while stopped?

If its as cold in Timmins as it is here in New Brunswick, it could be anything! My Ranger creaks driving in a straight line these days.
Seriously though, wait and see what it does on a warm day.

While driving. I’ve attached video

It does seem worse when it’s cold. Only -10 today and still making noise. A warm front is moving hopefully it’s goes away.

To get a better idea of where it’s coming from have someone else or yourself stand outside the truck while turning left. Hard to say with just a sound clip from inside the cab. Could be a lot of stuff like Canadian Ranger said.

It doesn't have to very cold. Keep in mind all those springs, shocks, bushings and steering components stay frozen even when the engine is warm, they never warm up. Makes it doubly important to take it easy on rough roads and railway crossings etc. in the cold. Those components take more abuse in the Winter up here.

My 2007 Escape with 260k km was making a bad sound when turning.
A spring was broken!
You only have 10k km, I think your good. ?
If it persist, dealer time!

I'd take it in ASAP...these trucks don't fix themselves...

It’s hard to tell by that clip but go with the obvious culprits first.

Re-torque your lugs.

If you can, check and torque your suspension parts, especially check the anti-sway bar link.

If those are all good, get your truck to the shop.

It sounds like a CV clacking in your video.

Hi Goeffery,

Not supposed to make any noises like this....Take it to the dealer for diagnosis.

Best,
Phil

Quick update, weather warmed up and noise is completely gone.
