What did u do to your raptor today?

[Irregular F150]

Finally got the new Bull Bar mounted after a kid decided to crush the other one in a parking lot !

Powder coated this one black (looks better), and fabricated a steel subframe behind it for the tow hooks.

Got the in/out tie rods and alignment all done today and then went right for the bumpiest dirt road on the way home lol. Guess it wasn’t too off with the crappy tie rods lol.

Yeah, except the crappy tie rods would have play in them, lol. Bet she is a lot tighter now!

Definitely noticeable in the steering.

So idk what happened this am. I started to drive to work and next thing i hear is an odd mix of squealing and scraping. I figured maybe some dirt got in something so i slow down and was going to check it but it stopped. 20 mins later i hear a light air release (like air brakes) and that noise again. Seems like it’s coming from the pass front side. They worked on the drivers front.

Sounds like hubs or brake baking plates or the inner fender is loose? Get under there and look!

I looked real quick when i got to work but didn’t notice anything. Also rinsed out any dirt. I know my fender liners are a bit loose since i reused the push pins in most spots lol.

First thing that popped into my head after hearing an air sound was maybe something with the Iwe system idk..

They are vacuum though and not like your pressurized air lines like on a big rig. Hope you figure it out.

Could be related somehow though. Sometimes you get paranoid about this stuff, i've been driving before and heard chirping sounds and guess what, it was just birds, these sounds scr ew with your mind, lol.

My first thought too but I've never heard mine make any noise. A/C compressor maybe?
