[QUOTE="relak, post: 1900978, member: 60634"] Now that I’ve gotten all four shocks replaced everything was seeming to be fixed, that is until I recently started experiencing a weird popping noise when turning on an incline. When I pull into drive ways that are inclined and the body/bed flex I get an audible popping noise like a bolt wasnt tightened properly or a stabilizer is popping out of place. I took it to the dealer yesterday to get two recalls done and had them diagnose this and they think they found the issue but it’s not fixable. According to them they believe it’s coming from a Aluminum crossmember where the bed connects to the frame but the foreman tightened everything and checked for any damage (none found) but it’s still making the noise. My service advisor said the only fix they can think of is replacing the entire bed but even then they’re not sure it would stop making the noise. They also aren’t willing to even consider submitting the repair to warranty because they think warranty will laugh at them wanting to fix something that isn’t broken or incorrectly installed. I called ford customer care and they recommended bringing it to another dealer, which I’m going to schedule but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this, NOT a clunking from the suspension but a popping noise when the body rolls. I found a TSB that explains the noise I’m hearing but it’s specific to F150s that aren’t the Raptor and the only fix they found was to lube the leaf springs, something we obviously can’t do. “ Pop/Clunk/Snap Noise From The Rear Of Vehicle When Driving Up/Down An Incline At An Angle – 2021 Ford F-150 [URL='https://www.nhtsa.gov/']NHTSA[/URL] ID Number: 10215718 Manufacturer Communication Number: TSB 22-2283 Summary This article supersedes TSB 21-2253 to update the vehicle lines affected.
