[QUOTE="Hasty, post: 1357853, member: 13728"] My rack makes the same clunk with engine off rocking the steering wheel. Washboard roads and it’s the absolute worst. However, around town I hardly notice. I’ve now confirmed that my front end clunk was coming from 2 different sources and essentially made the same sound. The first cause was a loose top hat nut, I didn’t torque it down properly after the shock swap. It appeared to quiet the ride down but a week afterwards the clunk reappeared and continued to increase in frequency. After checking all mounting points and torque I found low nitrogen on the same shock that I swapped. When I installed the shraeder I didn’t get a good seal and nitrogen dropped from 200psi to 90psi. I reinstalled/sealed the shraeder, recharged the shock and now she’s quiet again on the road. I know once off-road or on washboards I’ll get the steering rack knock but to be expected. I’ve gone through Ford attempting to get them to warranty but they were not budging. From what I’ve read on other F-150 forums replacing the steering rack isn’t a guaranteed repair, all the racks are reman’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
