NOISE COMING FROM REAR SUSPENSION
#31
Eureka
Problem appears to be solved. I replaced the rear toe links and voila. Used dorman part number 523-010 from rockauto.com
So far no more noise. You have to replace the entire assembly as they do not sell just the end (like a tie rod end). Likely because both ends can wear and it's easy to replace. Dropping the spare gives you tons of room to work.

I had a similar concern on my 06 Navigator, and I found the lower control arm outer ball joints(pillow ball type) were both loose, not a serviceable part for a Navigator supposedly, however dorman makes a replacement lower control arm ball joint for an 03-06 expedition, ordered them, installed with a ball joint press, and my noise was gone. Dealer wanted almost $1000 for each lower control arm, the ball joints I put in were $100 for the pair. Was a very tough noise to trace, but once fixed, it’s a different vehicle to drive now.
