Hello All, new to the Bronco Nation, looking for advice on 2024 Ford Bronco Badlands Sas. We like our new Bronco however as we head down the highway the Bronco tracks very noticeably. In turns it is very noticeable also at times we feel like a tire vibration, seems to show up more in left than right turns. Total stock Bronco nothing added, yet. We have had Jeeps on 32's and 35's but have not noticed the tracking issue that this Bronco demonstrates. Anyone else with this experience?
Thanks
f21sh.

Sounds like a potential alignment issue.

Did you have your dealer verify alignment??

I tend to agree with RagnarKon's diagnosis... But I am still trying to fully understand your meaning of "the Bronco tracks very noticeably"... My assumption is that you are saying it pulls to the left or to the right.... It could be that you mean it follows the ruts in the road and is challenging to get it out of the ruts.... I have hears both referred to as "tracking" In the first case RagnarKon would be right on the nose for my money... you need an alignment. For the second (I do not know what kind of rutting you get in the roads where you are at but we can get a lot of it here) that would be a tire issue and the only fix is to get a different tire. Now the tire "vibration" alarms me when you say you only get it when turning.... Typically a tire vibration is always there they just have a different harmonic at different speeds and some harmonics you feel a lot and others less so... That would be a a tire balancing issue. There are other possibilities but those I have listed would be my first checks because they would be the most probable.

Great advice from both @RagnarKon & @Unicorn - I would also confirm tire pressures and perform a visual inspection of the tire tread for uneven wear, cupping or other anomalies. Good luck @f21sh 👍🏼

Maybe your lane keeping feature is on.That happened to me a few years back after leaving Interstate + entering a paved secondary road [more noticeable going downhill 4 lane going downhill through the curves].Should show on/off in green on dash display.

By chance was 4H accidentally engaged? Is the issue intermittent or all the time? No matter what, take it into the dealership to have it looked at. And I would recommend going on a test drive with the service person to show them.

Not quite related, but backing out of the driveway in my F150 last week I had a growling and unnatural hop in the rear wheels… almost like a mechanical parking brake was hanging up… turns out i have inadvertently activated the rear locker…

If not a bad alignment, sounds like tires need balancing. Would try that before an alignment since it's much cheaper.

If You have Ford co-pilot , try turning off and see if the issue re-occurs .
