Default 32 degrees and below noise!

Seeing alot about this. My 2022 is doing it now. I just had both front hubs replaced and noise is still there! Has anyone actually had it fixed?

Too much grease, factory greases the IWEs which engage the hubs, monkey brain mechanics put more grease on, grease freezes when cold, IWEs drag in frozen grease.

I used to be a ford tech 10 years ago so it drives me crazy when I know there's something wrong. Luckily I have a buddy that works there and he looked into it. Doesn't seem to be a popular issue here yet for some reason. He showed me a hotline conversation and they believed the earlier hubs had weak springs. So he replaced. He took my word on the issue because when I dropped it of ofcourse it was in the 40s here in maine. It's on its start of second winter and got around 16000 miles. Can't imagine the grease would have an effect year and half later but maybe. It's going back in Friday I'll run that by them at the garage. Thanks
