Tires rubbing

Hi, I'm Abs, a 2013 Raptor owner in Dubai. I've noticed that I've got some serious rubbing of my shocks on the rear left hand side. Nothing on the right. I'm using stock 315 width tires and no mods.

Can anyone suggest what's causing it? Or had similar issues?

Tire is rubbing your shocks?

Yes, tire is rubbing on the shock. Trying to upload a pic but it keeps timing out.

Something must be wore out and letting top of tire, wheel, tilt inward towards shock. I don’t know the mechanical names of it all but I’m thinking it’s same part that fails on the cars we see broke down on side road with wheel completely folded in or out laying flat. You best be careful, don’t drive until get it fixed. Very dangerous. Some more mechanically smarter guys will be on soon to help you. It’s early morning here in USA now

That's really odd! Lot of space between the shock and the tire usually.

Are the wheels aftermarket? Maybe the offset is different enough to cause some rubbing...

Other than that i would just check that the lug nuts are tight and that the tire and shock are both in the proper alignment.

Pics will help, hopefully it will let you upload them!

Edit:

After seeing the images below I definitely agree with @Msb.19d

Must be some loose or worn parts along the rear axle.

If it’s what I’m thinking it can cause a really bad accident. Imagine going around curve fast and wheel/ tire folding completely sideways

You need to jack truck up and see if you can move tire with your hands, like one hand up top one bottom and try twist it towards shock

Could just be doing it going around sharp turns

I lived in Qatar for awhile and loved that place

pics attached.

guys, appreciate the immediate response. The wheels are on tight, I've checked that.

When I bought the truck I did notice some marks on the shock, but as the truck had just been serviced at the Ford dealer I didn't worry too much, though it might have been a one off thing.

The wearing of the exterior of the shock seems a lot worse now, I only noticed it this weekend as I had a pop out when accidently jumping/falling off an 8 foot dune. Luckily it was really soft sand, but still got the pop out.

I've been advised here by fellow truck owners it could be worn bushes or the wheels need to be aligned again. Which I will do this week.

Attached the pics now for you guys to see.

If you are running OEM wheels and tires, my first guess id that someone swapped in a standard F-150 rear end in your truck which is a little narrower.

R,
HAP

Post pics of the rear axle and better pic of the placement of the leaf springs.

OK, let me see if I can get the pics tomorrow morning, thanks
