Bi-Polar Raptor

[RaptorVA]

Hi everyone. Hoping for some help with my Raptor's ride. Specs for truck, 2014 Silver Screw, Fox 3.0 Shocks F/R, Deaver springs +1 are in rear, 71K miles. Some mornings I I leave the house and things are fine ride-wise, other times you would think I have a wheel out of round or a tire that is super low on air. It seems to settle out after a while driving but it certainly is annoying. I have never had the UCA ball joints replaced or serviced. Anyone have similar issues? What was the solution? TIA

How long on the fox 3.0s in the rear? This exact thing was happening to me when I was back running the factory shocks. A rebuild and new tires solved the issue.

The shocks have about 20K on them

Are you on stock tires? Do you rotate them every oil change? What air pressure are you running?

i think the KO2s are known for this behavior, esp when coupled with incorrect tire rotation.

Absolutely, the original ko's were the same, if not worse.

Sounds like you have a tire that is flat spotting from sitting. Does it seem to be worse when you don't drive the truck for a while?

 

[RaptorVA]

I park in the same spot in my driveway everyday. The issue occurs randomly and can be different from one day to the next. I dont believe that I am flatspotting overnight and randomly from one day to the next. I have aftermarket wheels and Ridge Grappler tires. I religiously rotate them and just had them balanced. I also just got an alignment. Could this be attributed to failing ball joints? Thanks for all of the replies

Is it colder on the days it seems worse?

 

[RaptorVA]

No it's not. That's why this has got me so confused. All things being equal there is no difference in conditions from one day to the next. Very frustrating! Sounds like I might be on my own with this one
