my 19 has a noise that my 18 didn’t. At low speed over washboard type bumps I hear what sounds like something loose , like the spare tire, it’s not. Sorry for the lame attempt but it sounds like “ dunk, dunk,dunk”. Sounds much like tire slap over cracks. I just drove another 19 and it seems to do the same so I’m guessing shock valving? I’d love to fix this if possible.... it sounds like wind buffeting when you have only one window open , not as loud.

Check the endlinks. I got a rattle I can hear an feel right under my feet at slow speeds. If I grab mine I can feel them move.

When I get time, I’ll get to the dealer.

If you go to the back and grab the bumper and push up and down. Only has to be a small movement. Do your shocks “rattle “?

I just posted this as another thread. Does this sound familar?

I have been trying to figure out a noise in my rear suspension for the last couple of months. It sounds like i have a baseball in the bed of the truck when I drive in a driveway or go off camber a bit, not off road. I had a couple of my buddies over and we jumped on the bumper and you can hear the noise coming from the live valve Fox shocks. I disconnected the bottom bolt of both shock and then jumped on the tailgate again with no noise. It is definately the shocks. I took it to the dealership and they said they can hear it but Ford will not do anything because the shocks are not leaking. I told him this is a $80K truck under warranty and this should not be happening. He said he will send it off to engineering but I have not heard anything back in 3 weeks with numerous calls. They will probably blame it one the Corona virus.

Anyone have this issue.

I wish I had my 2013 Raptor back!
