Axle Failure - Quick Question

[randotheking]

Service has determined that the cracking noise I'm hearing from the rear is being caused by a bad axle.
When replacing a bad axle, what else should be replaced? I've heard that the wheel hub/bearings should also be replaced...but Ford literally already did that 2 months ago on the same wheel. Should I push them to do it again?

I just had my passenger side axle and axle seal replaced under warranty on my 2019 with 35,000 miles. didnt replace the hub or bearing just the axle and seal. mine was puking grease/oil out right at the differential. good luck brother!

Was this the noise?

I checked it and it's tight... :/

Well. strange noise as per video above dissapeared after they've cleaned and greased the splines on the half-shaft going in to the hub. My guess is that it'll come back soon but so far so good (2 days of driving). Rather tired of having the car in the shop 10 times since november and it's going back again for further nosies and issues in a couple of weeks.. Quality by Ford.
