So in your opinion, replacing all 4 shocks fixed it? I'm at a standstill with the dealer. They said they used the chassis ears on the front, but could not hear anything. I can still hear it. I was thinking of buying my own set of ears to see if I can recreate the issue and get it on video, or even leave my set on and take the service manager for a test drive.
Yes. I mean there will always be some noise when you hit bumps from things that aren’t even the shocks, but the clunk that was so loud that you could feel it is gone. The way my driveway is when I back out each wheel hops down to the street at a different time. So I’d hear the one corner that didn’t get replaced for longer clunk everyday. The clunk is easy to replicate with the truck not even moving. When I took it in I just laid under the rear bumper and pushed the thing up and down to make the noise. The same works with the front but the weight makes it harder.
Update: 09-02-23: Still waiting for the lower steering shaft to come in (Ford told the tech to change the lower steering shaft). I don't believe it's going to fix the issue. I think it's the shocks.
My friend just picked up his new Gen 3 - 37pp. I drove his and it also has the same clunk/thump in the steering wheel. I dropped off my truck to the dealer for them to replace the lower steering shaft as Ford recommended.
Wait so it’s not the shocks?
Did you have to leave the truck with them until the part comes in? I am feeling the same thing. Did they say whether it’s an inconvenience or something that could cause damage if not addressed immediately?
I picked up the truck and drove it for the time being. It won’t cause any damage if driven. They called and said the part is on so I took it back. I’ll call for an update tomorrow.
That hasn’t been determined yet.
Taking mine in Friday for a few minor annoyances including this one.
