Clicking sound when turning wheel…heard after truck heats up

[WarST]

when i turn the wheel on my 2020 Explorer ST there is a clicking sound. It happens when the car heats up. My truck is back in the shop for 2nd time, but they still can’t figure out the problem. Any thoughts? I asked ChatGPT and found these results.. Thank you!

This is a somewhat common problem I believe coming down to the washers on the axle bolts.

i second what @2020FordRaptor mentioned regarding the washers on axle bolts. saw a similar issue with my friend's Explorer. might be worth bringing that up specifically with the mechanics.

The ford mechanic is replacing the 2 front axels...they think that's the problem. If that doesn't work...I'll definitely mention the washers on the axle bolts! Thank you!
