I have a 2010 it has 40 k on clock I had it at Ford around 35k with a complaint of a whin in the rear end. After some back and fourth they did the right thing and replace the pinion gear covered no cost to me still when rear seat is down you can hear what sounds like a scraping noise they say that's normal . I don't know it sounds like brake pads when they are getting low best way to describe noise. With seat up very hard to hear things seem ok when you put power to the ground highway speeds around town nothing other then the scraping noise. Bad wheel bearing ? But I would think when. Turning with a bad bearing noise would change ? Mileage is 19 around town 23 highway ? Sometimes I think I feel a vibration in the shifter ? It driving me crazy cause I can't seem to put my finger on it . Does anyone else have this noise ? Thanks for the help

Easy things first right jack up rear wheels try to see if any play in wheel
Brake pads

Is it sort of a subtle metal on metal sort of noise? It's not like screechy or alarming but it sounds like there is metal rotating on metal from somewhere in the back?

Hey sonnyboy,

Not sure if you saw my other post, but please make another appointment for diagnosis with your Ford dealer and PM me with your VIN, dealer, mileage, full name, and best daytime number so I can forward it to the Customer Service Manager for your area.

Yes that is the noise. Any guesses ?

I had that happen and thought it was the brakes for the longest time. I changed them out (they were due anyway) without any changes in the sound. I've upgraded my ring and pinion and dif since and that doesn't change it either.

I've kind of stopped hearing it because I think I'm getting used to it, but I'm considering getting an adjustable UCA because I'm LOW in the back and I feel like it might be some sort of poor pinion angle issue. Not totally sure though. Are you lowered?

Is there enough gear fluid in the rear?
