Check your trailing arm spacers
My noise is definitely not coming from the rear. All strut bolts and sway bar bolts are tight....I don't think this is suspension related. If anything, it might have to do with the cold. This is the first I've driven it since the temps really dropped and at the same time, the lift was installed. I think it's just coincidence.

Same with me. Haha. I got mine in May this year, and temps were already in the 60s/70s. Now they’re single digits. Just happened to install my struts at the same time of the super cold

Yeah sorry thats what I was doing too but I was surprised by the 91+ octane recomendation.
I’m not. It’s a turbocharged engine. They should all be running mid grade at a minimum. Yes, the computer will advance or retard timing and AF depending on the fuel it receives, but still.

Once my “free” tank of fuel was gone in the bronco, I’ve run nothing but 91+ since.

The 2021 2.0L says it was designed to operate on 87 octane. I'm wondering if they had to throw some more spark or boost at it to make the HP numbers on the 25. If so, that may have been the reason they upped the fuel recommendation to 91.
