My truck should be in any day and I was apparently built 2 days before this was resolved. Any unintended noise from any new vehicle drives my insane, so I'll be interested to see how this shakes out now that people are acting on the service bulletin. Fingers crossed on mine.

My front suspension is squeaking pretty bad. Sounds like I'm driving an old POS. Its been to dealer already once and they fixed it by replacing both front strut’s top hardware and retorquing the top strut bolts but the squeak is back 3 weeks after the fix.

Anyone else have this same thing?

A squeak noise is not a symptom of the shock issue being discussed in this thread. Is your truck completely stock?

I had a feeling I posted this is the wrong thread. Wasn’t sure if they were somehow tied together.

Truck has 1.5 collars installed. Other than that, it’s stock.

I've read the whole post

I have the same problem with my vehicle, did anyone change the shock absorbers that were in the SSM 50972 circular?

Did the plastic that was loose on pole #606 solve the problem?

In my Ford dealership they only have the 21S56 campaign to close the insulators (but there are no spare parts hahaha)

I'm quite upset with the noise and vibration on the passenger floor and pedals. If someone had a home solution, I would be willing to try to solve it myself.

Thank you very much

Well that might explain it. Installing collars changes ride height, which can cause noise from the control arm bushings. When any lift is installed the upper and lower control arm bushing bolts should be loosened and retorqued with the weight of the truck on the suspension to eliminate any binding.
