You sure that's not the undershield? Sounds just like that... tapping. You could swear it was inside the car but it's the shield(s) flapping. Have you gotten rid of all those plastic undershield retainers?

Were yours failed or the the nuts not tight? It does sound like end link noise but i checked everything for tightness: end links, strut piston, strut mount bolts, front strut brace bolts, axle nut. I could not find anything wrong. The end links had no play.

I guess I'm joining the club for my 2026 ST. Low speed, "pop" that I can feel, on drivers side suspension. Happens intermittently. Weird because otherwise turning and driving are smooth. The strut is very firm...new PIU struts. I am not going to bring this to the dealer since I have Eibach...

The AFe should have come with a packet of opaque silicone grease.

Someone will eventually want it...these are no longer standard on Explorers and are a $400 add-on.

unfortunately, other members have bought from ebay before and the sensors were dead. I bought a set from TPMSbargains.com recently--not the cheapest but wanted pieace of mind.

Sounds like you have experience but just double check your sub amp settings before you start pulling panels. To get to the subwoofer harness is kind of a pain...

Either have the shop trouble shoot this since they installed it, or double check their work. The link below is the definitive forum how2. You should set the LC2i for Accubass 0--you shouldn't need it. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/added-a-rockford-fosgate-amp-and-jl-audio-10-sub.5164/

That, I don't know. I just got the notice in the message box but I can't seem to find a list of recent updates.

That is correct for the Android infotainment. I got a notification a week or two ago saying there was an update to the Ford diagnostics.

Update: went to the dealer parts department who took my VIN and says there's an illustration for it but there's also a note: "Left side only". WTF Ford! I'll have to get it myself...Have to believe it'll cut down some road noise, improve aero and also protect.

I was getting ready to remove the plastic retainers that commonly fail on the undershield but when i went to do the passenger side, I noticed there was none. Can someone with a 2026 look under their car and tell me if you have one? I can't imagine this is correct. Passenger side Driver side

I'm with you. Ever since I saw an parked Audi drift back in a parking lot and hit another car (slight incline), I thought the auto park is where it's at.

Alcantara is a brand. Any car manufacturer that uses it will advertise it as such so it isn't it. That said, there are generic materials that are pretty similar. I like what Ford is using a lot. Just don't take any solvents to it and you should be fine.

Before I switched to 2026, my 2020 started having similar symptoms. Vibration at a stop light, especially in winter. Park or neutral or drive, it would immediately go away. It was not the engine or trans mounts. I suspect something going on in the trans. At least you get a new rear...
