Rear shocks annoying noise?

[RaptorRexCullen]

My rear shocks (I think its the shocks) have a TERRIBLE squeak when im driving at any speed. Its when the road has a bump in it (tiny ass bump so its virtually always there). When I open the rear (slider) window the sound is so loud the music just cant go loud enough!

Has anyone had this problem?

Im taking her into the dealer this week and praying they find something wrong lol.

Maybe its your springs? Bushings need lube or something?

Bypass shocks definitely make noise when they're cycling through the stroke.

He he he, I love the noise!!! Its like my old 7.3 diesel, was crazy loud but I loved it...

Ya i know they make noise but this isnt normal. Ive ridden in other raptors and they dont have an ear bleeding squeak.

Maybe its your springs? Bushings need lube or something?

I hope your right angrybird. That would be an easy fix...

Yeah I've got the same squeek. Sounds like rubber. I suspect it's the shock or shock bushing.

Took mine to the dealer and they said they couldn't hear it.

I hope you have better luck. Let me know if you do and what they find.

it's either the leaf spring contact pads - which you just need to slather grease on.

or


your tailgate step.

just jump up and down in your bed and you'll know where it's coming from.

Sorry Charlie....

For sure it is the spring bushings and for sure it is NOT the shocks! Raptizzle has true FOX External Bypass shocks on his Raptor and they will click and clatter a lot because of the external check valves. All the rest of us have Internal Bypass shocks and they don't make noise because all the bypass is holes and shims are inside the shock?

How many Miles on your Ride?

On my truck it was the tail gate mount and latch points. Light greese and they are good for month.

No apologies needed and for the sake of the OP, I hope it is something like the tailgate making the noise. However, reading the title to the thread sure made me think the shocks would be the culprit. After all, we can only go off what is typed in these little black boxes and not "real world" diagnosing.

Some people can be more **** than others and the smallest of sounds can sometimes be enough to cause frustration...

And yes, my external bypass's definitely click enough to let you know they're there.
