Front End Squeak Noise When Moving
My 2015 F350 PSD is making a squeaking noise in the front end area (sounds like drivers door forward area) only when driving. I can hear it a slow speeds. At higher speeds the engine noise most likely drowns out the sound. The sound is not affected by applying the brakes, or shifting in to neutral. It sounds like a cyclical squeak, like something roating might be causing it.
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what might be the cause? Front drive shaft? Seal? U-Joint?
I hope to get it to the dealer next week, but thought I would check to see if anyone might have experienced this or have an idea of teh cause.
Any help would be aprreciated.
Thanks!

I'm glad to see that you're heading in to the dealership, Vrybusy. What's the current mileage on your truck? I'll see what I can do to help from my neck of the woods.

Thanks for that information! I'm heading to the dealer in 30 minutes. I like being able to offer them some options to look at. I'll let you know what/if I find out the cause. Thanks again.

Dealer said there was a bulletin about lubing the transfer case seal. Seems to have worked. So far so good. The paperwork says "....as per SSM 4456" Not sure what that means but I guess that is the bulletin they were talking about. Thanks for everyone's help!

ssm?
I have that exact problem and my dealer says his SSM's are 5 digits long. Can you verify the number? I wonder if they are just spraying something on the seal or the shaft snout.
thanks Grant

Was this a humming type noise, like a flat spot in the tire? That got louder in turns?
I may have something like this on my 2012, but it could maybe also be aging tires. I guess I'll have to throw on a new set and see if it's still there.
