Stepping out

rmschaver · Jun 21, 2016

New owner with a question on suspension. My truck 2010 scab, original shocks wants to step out in the rearend when I go over rough road. More pronounced in turns but tends to drive to the side with the worst pothole or whatever bad piece of road. Any thoughts?

shocks need a rebuild sounds like

Yeah I was wondering. I have been reading up on that. Just the one set of tooling on the FRF?

what do you mean by one set of tooling?

rmschaver · Jun 21, 2016

I read on the DIY rebuild shocks that a group went in together and bought the tooling for a shock rebuild. Someone has to have them. I could buy my own but would rather not if i could borrow/rent/buy at a reduced price.

Ah, no there is the shock exchange program, where you get a set of rebuilt shocks and send off your old ones. Here is the thread http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f9/raptor-community-stock-2-5-shock-rebuild-exchange-program-44733/

Nice, any idea how I could manage the nitrogen recharge locally without having a bottle of my own?

Maybe a local motorsports shop who does dirt bikes or atvs

Have you ever driven a solid axle vehicle before? Mustangs do the same thing. At least all the non independent rear do. Fact of life for solid Axle vehicles.

I would typically agree with it just being normal behavior of a solid axle but, it is a Raptor and the fox shocks should reduce it. I was assuming based off his truck being a 10' it had around 50k miles which is the suggested shock rebuild
