GEN 2 Creaky Springs + Pedal Vibration

[lordsimon]

Hey guys, I own a 2020 screw and have noticed recently these two issues.

The first is what sounds to be like creaky bed springs coming from the left side of my truck. The noise seems to come and go, but the dealer said they fixed it and they did not.

The second issue is what feel like a vibration in the pedals when I am cruising. It isn't anything crazy but it is noticeable enough to where it feels not right.

Spray leafs down w/ some non-runny lubricant - everyone like amsoil HDMP, but I’m sure there are other options.

the 2nd issue sounds like either warped rotors (can happen on even brand new vehicles from a panic stop) or tires that need balancing- common for trucks/SUVs & especially ones like the raptor w/ giant heavy rolling stock. Road force balancing.

Yeah how worn are your tires? Mine do that after they’re rotated for a few miles.

So should be something dealer can take a look at when i take in for the 10k checkup?

Yeah I imagine I mean if it’s not bothering ya that much but if it’s just the tires outta balance it should be easy fix & personally I’d do jr sooner than later make sure you don’t have warped rotors, a bent rim, but if it is something up w/ the tires themselves may be small like balancing issue could be old rubber out of round or uneven wear Since tires are constantly wearing down better to bring in sooner than later if you want warranty coverage

mine was a u-joint.... do you mainly hear it when the truck is "cold" and you begin to accelerate?

dealer kept trying to tell me it was the left rear shock. after replacing the shock and still having the noise they said it was the left rear spring.
after replacing that and still having the noise they replaced a bearing.... and still I had the noise.

minute 1 on day 1 of my "complaint" I told them it was in the drive line between the t-case and pinion. I went so far as to tell them I suspected a u-joint but didn't want to change it myself because it's under warranty.

their inability to diagnose and properly replace a simple u-joint cost Ford some money and cost that dealership a customer.
in total, my 19 was down for 4 weeks (2 different 2 week trips) for a u-joint.

I also had a constant vibration at 72 to 78 mph. could feel it in the steering wheel, gas pedal and passenger seat. that's gone now too.

$25 u-joint.
