I'm not seeing anything...here's the results of my search: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/search/100743/?q=front+end+rattle/noise&o=relevance

I also tried searching without the '/', and with everything in quotes. Am I missing it somewhere?

Not sure of the exact search terms but was similar to that. It’s been on here before. Anyway, it’s under warranty.

Umm, isn't the entire swaybar/end link/mount setup the 1st thing to look at with a front end rattle? It's all easy to inspect. The swaybar and the mounts/links are constantly being flexed and resisting relatively large forces, so it's all failure prone compared to the more robust parts in the rest of the front end.

Ford had recalls on 94-95 Mustangs due to sway bars that broke from the constant flexing. At least we don't have torsion bars for springs like the 10th gen trucks had. They all fail eventually from metal fatigue and last I checked, the junkyard was to only place to get "new" ones.

I trust the new links got rid of the noise. Ford dealers suck in my area too.

Did you finally get the dealer to replace them under warranty, or did you do them yourself? If the dealer, I'm guessing they left the tags on so that you'd know they were new (not that you wouldn't be able to tell, seeing how bright and shiny they are! )

I installed them myself - $150 shipped from OEMFordParts.com and literally 40 minutes of my time. Very easy swap. I left the tags on for pics then cut them off. Rattle has STOPPED! She drives quiet, without any loud complaints from the front end.

Yeah, if I didn't already have other things I want the dealer to look at (cam phasers, and a general 30k mile inspection) and didn't think I could get them replaced under warranty, I definitely wouldn't bother going to the dealer. End links are easy to replace for sure...did them a few times on my 2000 Wrangler.

Thank you for posting, is there any audio that shows what that noise might sound like.

I ran into an issue where when i got my cam phasers replaced I asked them to diagnose the rattle. They put chassis ears on the truck and claimed it was a bent skid plate. I took the skid plate off and found and noticed a screw loose in plain site. So the tin can rattling is going, but the rattle in the video posted below is what i am hearing on mine.

There is a rattle on the front that matches this video, is the front end clunking you are talking about ?
