Hi to all,
for some months now I have an increasing very unhealthy sounding bang in the front car of my 2011 Explorer.
Problem: Most of the parts are brand new and my Ford dealer cannot find the root cause.
What was replaced: Front Axle left and right, wheel bearings, strut mount bearings, shock absorbers, stabilizer bar links, stabilizer rubber mounts, whole both lower control arms, tie rod end assemblies.
Nothing changed, I am really frustrated now. This sound is on both sides of the car and only appears when I am driving over bumps at slow to medium speed.
I put a camera under the car to see what is moving around or not thight: nothing.

on 0:31 - 0:46 min the sound can be heard and sometimes I can feel it with my feet on the driver side.
Currently I do not want to drive the car until I at least know what the problem is but I need to.
The only suspicion would be a worn transmission/engine mount but I cannot replace everything I can think of.
Dealership was no help at all. They confirmed it but were not able to locate the problem.
Same on the other side:
2:40, 2:46, 2:55
I really apprechiate, if anyone has an idea or had the same problem and found a solution.
Thanks
Klaus
