My XLT EB FX4 has a lot more suspension squeak than I think should be there.
Is anyone else hearing this in theirs?

Thanks for the feedback.
Any suggestions on how to document it for the dealer. I've dealt with "squeaks" before and they usually just brush it off. "oh I didn't hear anything","that's normal".....

If you can try to pinpoint where the noise/squeak is coming from, like have someone push up/down on fender while you're underneath to help decide how bad it is for you? I myself don't have any suspension noises & have over 6,000 miles since October & bad/rough Michigan roads

By the way, check your spare tire is fully tensioned and the lug nut is fully tightened. I used to have a Nissan truck that would sueak like mad over any bump unless the spare tire was tightened down very strongly. Took me a while to figure it out.
That said, my Maverick has no squeaks either. If possible have someone rock the truck while you take a peek under so it's easier to pinpoint the noise source. Once you find it making a video on your phone of a close-up of the squeaky part moving should be evidence enough.

Having spent 15+ years of my life there, are there ANY Michigan roads that aren't bad/rough? LOL
If you're going strong after 6k+ miles there, I'd suspect OP might have an issue, or really sensitive hearing.

Closing the loop on this, I have it at the dealer and they have found some of the issue and are working on fixing it.
Fingers crossed this doesn't turn into a non-fixable item!

Wanted to close the loop on this.
The dealer had it for 3 days total and fixed the issue. They said they didn't put in a single new part the essentially disassembled the suspension and re-assembled it and re-torqued everything and it all went away.
Thanks for your thoughts and ideas. The dealer totally owned it and took care of it!

Apologies for reviving an old thread. My truck is making a creaking noise from the rear suspension, driver side. I have diagnosed it myself as coming from the bushing where the bottom control arm mounts up to the subframe. There's some sort of binding as vibrations are felt there when the suspension is compressed.
I'm also hoping it's possibly just a torquing issue as I've noticed those nuts have been backing off from the factory markings. I'm gearing up to take the truck in sometime this week or the next, hopefully it will be a quick repair like OP's.

I'm scheduled to take the truck in on the 24th. They needed to push it out to ensure they'd have a loaner for me. It's still making the noise, I'm not doing anything about the noise right now so that I don't get the "well we couldn't find anything" line from the dealer LOL.

Ok, let us know! I have a squeak as well and I suspect it's just parts needing a re-torque but with the issues some Mavericks are having on the CV's I want to keep all options open before I report anything. I'd hate to have to take it in for this kind of work because it's something I can do myself but if it's free... really no reason not to (since it's not like the air bag recall where so many people have reported them screwing things up).
