Clunking sound on Gen 3 too

I dropped mine off for an oil change 5,000 miles ago and asked them to look at my shocks. I also provided the SSM. They immediately ordered new rear shocks without question. 5,000 miles since installing and the rear remains super quiet. Find a good service department if you’re getting kick back.

Almost like we need a thread called ford dealerships that don’t suck by state.

Also sharing my experience here with Lebanon Ford in Ohio. Dropped my truck with 25k miles and clunky noise coming from the rear suspension. Shocks were replaced after a week (due to parts backorder) with no questions asked. Such a smooth ride now!

After 8 days, I have my truck back from the shop. They had to diagnose each shock independently to ensure it was making noise (insert eyeroll). They ended up replacing three of the four shocks (1 front, 2 rear). I'm sure the 4th will give way over the next 10k miles, but we'll see. I also had them throw on the Eibach leveling springs (1.5" front / 2.2" rear) and it's sitting dead level now.

Well, right rear shock that was replaced under warranty made it 10 months before leaking. Yes I have been keeping an eye on it and no it is not just residual weeping. It’s dripping on my driveway. How much this truck has been in and out of the dealership in two years is disappointing.

I just bought a 2024 and have kind of a metallic sounds popping clunk. Sounds almost like a piece of metal popping back into place almost (can’t feel anything though through the wheel). It usually happens when slowing down or accelerating from a stop. Anyone know what this might be? Sounds like it’s coming from the middle/rear axel of the truck

My truck started making this noise as well (50k miles). They hooked up the 'ears', replaced a control arm, but can't identify the noise. I've got a canopy/rtt on the back and they said they couldn't do anything further without that removed since they isolated the noise to the 'bed area'. Seems like it is not the shock clunk, as I get no noise when jumping on bumper. Only happens when turning 90 degrees (sometimes) or when turning up an incline drive. Would love to figure it out, freaking drives me nuts too!

I’ll try and get a video this week and mount my phone down there. The issue is it can’t be recreated on demand and I know if I take it to the dealer they’ll just say “we didn’t hear anything”

It’s the exhaust backfiring

well. my new to me CPO Gold 2022 raptor came with the clunking sound. took it to dealer and told me i have to replace the front shock.. it's OUT OF POCKET since it's a wear and tear time. completely BS. Never in my experience had I had a manufacturer tell me shock is a wear and tear item. Acura, Honda, Toyota, they all replaced shock as part of warranty, original or CPO.

Luckily my dealership who sold the truck is reimbursing me for the cost. but its the last time I pay extra a ford CPO. it's leaving a really bad taste in my mouth. I could have bought a non-CPO for significantly less and bought a full coverage aftermarket warranty for A LOT LESS total OTD.
