I have 2011 Screw 5.0 with only 30k miles. Lately, whenever I turn the wheel to the left I get a grinding type of noise. This is not the noise you get when you turn a wheel all the way and lock it out. It can be anywhere from a moderate to extreme left turn. Also, the suspension has begun squeaking and creaking pretty regularly. I looked online for info on lubing it but they say it's a sealed system. Anyway, I'm asking all of you b/c my dealerships around here are pretty horrible and always say they can't duplicate the problem. All help is appreciated!

I have a post on here too and just replied on it tonight, after having two months of no grinding, after the dealer replaced the clutch pack in the rear end, and the grinding feeling when wheels are turned is back again! Mostly after a cold start, even with the steering wheel turned a hair, I feel it. Before, the feel was the same, felt like it was from the front end, but it was the rear, and the clutch pack completely eliminated that....until the last few weeks. It's more an annoyance. I will likely get it checked again....just hoping it's not doing any damage. The day that it was rep,aced in August, another truck was in for rear end work. Seems to be a common issue but I'm at a loss what else to check. Ran into my Ford tech at the store the other day and he said if he backed off the clutch pack any more, I'd have no "Posi". Some say to add Motorcraft Friction Modifier to the rear but I've not tried that yet. Any ideas guys? What an aggravation!
