2019 Rear Shock Leak

I'm 230 miles into owning this Raptor and thought I was hearing a clunk in the rear end over bumps, almost like a loose spare tire. When I checked I found the passenger rear shock leaking from the electronic module. Of course there isn't a dealer that has one in stock and Ford is unable to tell the when one will be available. Customer care call was a joke but at least my dealer is working hard to get some answers. I really like the truck so I hope they resolve this properly.

Make sure you check this area closely on PDI.

Ah crap. I drove my truck for the first time in a 10 days yesterday and it was clunking really badly in the rear. I got out twice just to see if I forgot something rolling around in the bed or if my towing hitch was loose but nope. Now I have to see if my shock is leaking. Bummer, hope they get it squared away quickly for you man.

Installed my Icon leafs today and took a good look around at my rear shocks, no leaks there thankfully. I think it actually was a loose spare tire in my case since I don’t hear it anymore with the new leafs. Had to lower and raise the spare for the install and the noise went away.

What I did find though was a loose fitting on the rear brake line and a ton of brake fluid all over the place. Truck is new so looks like it was loose from the factory. Come on Ford, get it together man!

Keep us updated on your shock situation I’m curious to see how long they take to get you a new one.

yeah, I had a brake line come loose and got cut by the tire at full lock over a period of a few days and -**** - no brakes. not fun.

Dang I'll keep an eye on the front brake lines too. Luckily mine didn't get that bad but I definitely need to top off my brake fluid.

Fox got a new shock delivered to my dealer over the weekend and it got installed today. The truck drives so much better now, I didn't realize how much that bad shock affected the ride quality. It took about 2 weeks to get the shock and my dealer was great through the entire process. Much better than Ford Customer Care.
