Hey so i bought a new08 ranger sport about 6 months ago. In the last couple months i have noticed a significant grinding/creak/cracking sound coming from the driver side door. The noise is most obvious when taking left handed corners and when i push against the door from the inside (passenger side is fine). It makes a groan when I push out and grinds/creaks/cracks when I release. Im not a very techy person so I took it to my local ford dealer but they didnt figure out the problem. Im taking it back again soon but I was wondering if any of you guys have similar problems or have any ideas what it could be.

Thanks
Steve

 

Please post a follow-up if you find a solution as my 2007 ranger does the same thing and I had it to the dealer twice but to no avail. Got the typical "it didn't do it for us" reply as sometimes it's true it doesn't. Bought my 2007 last July and it was a tight solid quiet truck but during and after the winter months is when it started with the rattle/squeak annoying noise.

 

am i the only one with this problem

 

I too just bought a 08 XLT and when i open the drivers doorquickly it makes a crack/creek in the door jam. It seems to be coming from the hinge but its hard to tell. Its weird because it doesnt do it on the passenger side.
