[QUOTE="grantoser, post: 897207, member: 8209"] This really makes sense... I've had my (new to me) raptor for 2 months now. It has 47,000 miles. When I got it it had no clunk noise at all. The past week I've been on a travel trailer vacation and I have been using a weight distribution hitch. A lot of you probably know that to install the bars, you lock the hitch on the ball and then raise the truck up as far as you can to make putting the bars in their slots easier. After I did this a couple of times (and the rear suspension of the truck was really stretching) I am now getting a clunking noise taking off at red lights. Almost feels like weight is shifting or something which is weird... Might just be my imagination. Just thought it was interested to read this theory (my truck has been someone else's street queen daily driver until I got it and I JUST used the hitch to stretch out the rear suspension... Instantly getting the clunk.) I guess I will try to get ford to lube the shaft when I get home (still on my vaca) does ford charge for this? I only have the powertrain warranty left... [/QUOTE]
