Left or right turn clicking noise - eIWE?

[PowerboostedF150]

Throwing this out there in case anyone else has had this problem. When turning at a slow speed, with the window down, I can hear a distinct click noise, about once every rotation, either left or right. Going straight, no noise. Truck has 132k km. Stock wheels with a level.

CV boots look fine, so I am thinking it’s the eIWE that’s doing it?

Most likely the one of the CV shaft joints it’s self. The EIWE won’t make a clicking sound.
Leveling pucks installed?

Yes, pucks installed. I guess I’ll wait until it gets worse, that will more obvious.

CV joints when beginning to fail a are prone to making a clicking sound when turning under power.

The good thing is these are relatively inexpensive to buy at $165-185 USD for them. If you don't want to do the work yourself, the tnstall probably only takes 1-1.5 hours of shop time and would need an alignment afterwards.

I remember there being aftermarket CV shafts being available for F150's that had slightly longer shafts to compensate for lifted suspensions but sure if that's needed for a 2-2.5" lift. Some also recommend using ones for the Tremor variant as they were longer as well but not 100% on that.

I have the same issue and it’s driving me crazy! Generally the truck has to be driven a little before I can hear anything. Driving straight it usually doesn’t make a sound. If turning, braking, or a combination of both it makes a clicking noise. The faster the truck is moving, the faster it clicks.
