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

No squeaks on mine. Start a list for the dealer.My XLT EB FX4 has a lot more suspension squeak than I think should be there.

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.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".....
Having spent 15+ years of my life there, are there ANY Michigan roads that aren't bad/rough? LOLIf 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
Update?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.Update?
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).I'm scheduled to take the truck in on the 24th.
