Installed and torqued to 96ftlb and then 45 degrees more, F'ing tight! Still clicks and pops. Going to check one more possible thing and if that is not it it is going to Ford to look at the half shafts.

Are your cars equipped with the PP? If so then this noise is usually associated with the Torsen diff.

My noise came back after 3 days.

Now louder than ever.

Shit!

My car is a PP, but it's EU spec, so no Torsen.

New design on the half axle nut due to the old style would loosen over time. CV joint in the half axles are your source of the issue as I have said.

I have the new design and torqued to spec, it is still there so it is a different issue than a loose nut.

Yep. Both half shafts will need to be replaced. I had the exact issue as you and others have well documented. Replaced both half shafts and the noise "popping" is gone. Somewhat common issue unfortunately.

Hey guys. I've been having this problem for the past week.

If it's the CV joint, would that be warrantied as part of the powertrain? Because my warranty literally expired a month ago.

I'll let you know in about an hour. Just finishing up at the shop.

They installed a BMR diff bushing kit at the same time, which turned out to be a total bitch of a job.
