Dealing with a front end noise. Truck is lowered on H&R super sport spring. It’s a creaking noise and not clunk. Can be heard inside the truck and outside. It’s not always present and typically happens after about 20/30 min of driving or after going full lock while turning. Once noise appears it can also be heard over bumps. There is another tread about this noise but it seems to have died with no answer. I highly doubt Ford will warranty it due the lowering springs. Bringing it to my mechanic tomorrow but any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Can’t help you - my front wheel bearings were just replaced, but it was more of a grinding noise in my case. In your case it sounds like the noise coming from an adjacent hotel room.

Hope you find what’s causing the issue.

I went to my mechanic today. After a good look over we believe the noise to be coming from the inner tie rod. Order a new one. Hopefully that’s the fix.
