Default flapping noise on passenger side
2011 f150. Every so often when I'm driving there seems to be a flapping sound coming from the passengers side possibly by the front tire area. Anybody had this issue?

4x4?

Is noise only when going straight ahead, or only when turning?

Jack it up to check if the wheel bearing is tight?

What's the mileage on your truck, jmartinez136? Have you had your dealership take a look? Keep us posted.

Yes, but in California it's not legal to have your wife ride in the truck bed, so I've just learned to tune it out.

It's probably one of those intermittent sounds that will never happen while a tech is looking at it.

After being married for 60 years or so, when I went deaf in my right ear, I regarded it as a reward rather than an affliction.
