I bought some Maxima Plush Dynamic that I am going to try when I get 30 minutes to jack the truck up and apply to all 4 shocks, my mountain bike and Harley fork tubes.

I hope this fixes the issue.
So far, 2 weeks and squeaking hasn’t returned. After listening to the squeaking for months I’m extremely glad it worked. Try to grab a bottle of the WD40 PTFE dry lube from home depot and hit all the pivots while you’re at it. Hope it fixes the issue for you too!

I noticed the dreaded squeak a few months ago coming from the front. Definitely more pronounced on the left. But coming from both. Dec build 2023MY all stock

Dealer I took it to is planing to replace both front shocks, warehouse out of stock, so waiting at least a few days.

Hopefully there has been some technical update to address it if these shocks start squeaking gonna try some of the diy solves.

Why the **** is Ford wasting all this money replacing shocks. I put shock shaft lube on my struts and they have been plush and quiet ever since. People are so lazy, especially those that buy raptors to look cool in the grocery store parking lot that have no idea on how stuff functions. Must be a democrat.

Just noticed this on the driver side. Is this a squeak that you guys have been talking about? At first I thought everywhere I went There were a lot of birds.

Had the same noise except on the passenger side. It’s at the dealer getting the entire strut replaced as we speak.

LOL, going to add 3 more problems going through all that. Now it will still squeak, the alignment will be off and you'll add a clunking noise to the squeak.

Noticed mine started to do this recently. Front right side. However, with me being the 2nd owner, I doubt CPO/extended premium warranty will cover a "wear" item. Over the 3/36 part of the bumper to bumper warranty.

Only does it when the truck has been driven for a bit.

Waiting to see how the FRS price out I guess and then revisit.
