Aftermarket Solution for Wastegate Rattle?

[Antho]

There was a TSB for 2017 models to add a “spring”. It’s the little metal price on the dog bone. Does yours have that?

Mine do not rattle either, I have a 2020 but only 8k miles, is this something that happens with more miles?

That's what I was just thinking. I only have 9,000 miles on mine, 3-20 build. Knock on wood, no rattles on mine at this point. I wonder if @FordTechOne has any ideas on this?

The wastegates linkages expand with heat, so there needs to be tolerance built into the linkage to prevent it from binding up. The spring is there to dampen noise but will not eliminate it.

The noise is more audible on a vehicle like the F-150 because the turbochargers are located near the open front fender wells.

2020... sounds like faint rattlesnakes sitting on front tires til it warms up a little.
