I wish I could post the video. I tried earlier but it said it was too large. It’s only 10 seconds… Out of all 4 corners, 3 are quiet no matter the size of bump or speed. One rear shock is clunking which to me seems like it is when the suspension is on the rebound of a bump when the shock is extending back to ride height after a bump. The compression stroke seems to not make any noise. Don’t know if this is the same as other raptor owners as well. It’s clearly audible in only one corner and can be heard just by bouncing on the bumper.
Clunking sound on Gen 3 too

It sounds like it is coming from both sides but it’s just the video making it seem that way. I suppose I could put a jack with a board to the frame to isolate side to side but when you stick your head in the wheel well and have someone bounce on it you can tell in person very easily it’s from the passenger side.

That sounds just like mine did. There is no question there is a problem. Ok, you have the clunker. I would be pissed off they are sayings it’s normal. Take up a chair in the GM office and make him listen
Did you have yours repaired or did you trade in and get a different truck? Just curious. Honestly I really like the truck and I don’t want to get rid of it but this noise drives me nuts. I’d be willing to travel and drop it at another dealer if I knew that dealer would properly diagnose it and get it repaired.

They repaired it, both rears. Rode like a new truck when done.
I did get a new R 6-8 months later.
Not sure how true, but I was told that Fox made some screw up that allowed air/nitrogen in the shock body. The noise was caused by piston slapping the oil.

From what I have gathered and understand the reason the SSM was able to be pinpointed to a build date is because fox realized there was a problem, resolved it and noted what parts were made before the change. Then that information went to ford which has a system that knows exactly what part goes in what truck on what day on the assembly line. It’s seems cut and dry but for some reason we as the customer get the short end of the stick on such an obvious issue.

I would be surprised if Ford could pin point the week even if Fox told them all deliveries after *** are good. There is dealer inventory, logistics, warranty supplies etc all picking from batches. I bet they say, all that inventory should be used by x date, then add a month or two for the warranty build dates
