Happy holidays
2018 exp 4x 4, 15757 miles. Since I've owned this from 2650 miles there is a soft non metallic sounding thunk every morning. I typically back out with the steering wheel rotated right almost all the way. Once I clear the driveway, I start to return the steering wheel left and slowly accelerate out of the turn. Just as I start going straight there is a soft thunk sound that seems to come from the middle of the front of the vehicle.
It initially happened ONLY when I backed out hard right and returned to center moving forward, now I hear it after coming out of backing up with the steering wheel turned left or right.
I've had it in to Arlington heights ford and they don't seem to ever hear it. I'm not ripping on their service, I'm a toolmaker/mechanic and I understand how difficult it can be to translate customer verbiage into a mechanical solution. It does not do this over bumps so I'm going to eliminate end links
Could it be
Sway bar bolts
Sway bar bushings
