What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

[KingKoopa17]

Changed oil yesterday. I also switched out the sway bar end links. Haven't driven it over many small bumps yet, but the passenger side definitely had play when I first checked. I think it will help resolve the "clunking" noise when driving over small bumps.
I went with MEVOTECH MS408138 from Rock Auto. $72 and some change total. It was my first time changing sway bar links period, so one side took me way too long, then the other only took maybe ten minutes. Torqued to 33 ft-lb according to a video on YouTube. Pumped full of grease and double checked for play; they're nice and tight!

**EDIT 8/13/24**

Finally got a few days in where I drove it over some bumpy roads and a few speed bumps, and wallah, the noise is gone! So if you've got that "clunk" coming from the front end when driving over some bumps, check those end links!

I thought the pavement princess was looking kinda good up on the cal-de-sac….and then I parked her back in the driveway after the huge truck delivered patio furniture….. (wife: oh by the way, I ordered a new table and chairs for the deck)

I’m getting these. How are they compared to OEM?
I remember the OEM started to rattle and I drilled a tiny hole in the plastic cap. Shot of grease and they were quiet again. It didn’t last long and they were replaced under warranty.
The warranty set are rattling now. I like those Mevotechs - every oil change they get a shot of grease.

They're solid and appear well built. I haven't had a chance to drive with them much yet. I do like the grease fittings and the fact they have two ways to get them off and on. You can put two wrenches on it or put an Allen socket on the ends and an 18mm wrench. Speaking of which, the top is 4.5mm and the bottom was 5mm (or 5mm and 5.5mm, I can't remember). I thought I was going crazy when my allen wouldn't fit the top, lol.

Finally caved and picked up a Carbonized Gray Gen 3 with a moonroof after scouring the internet to find a Shelter Green with no moonroof. 3rd world problems. Needless to say I’m extremely happy. This thing rides like a Towncar compared to my Gen 2 Supercab.
