2019 Ford Raptor. Great shape etc. There is an annoying rattle or clunk under the bed in the rear. Sometimes If you hit a bump BUT MAINLY WHEN I MANUALLY.. jump on the back bumper and when I make the bed move up and down it makes noise. Sounds like spare tire is loose but when I get under it I can't pin it down? And unless something is inside, that I can't see above, loose etc it feels solid. Thought that IT was in tailgate but that has been ruled out. ShockS or spare tire needs dropped and checked? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I have also pops and clunks coming from under the truck. Changed the sway bar links, didn’t help.

I got under with a mallet and couldn’t find an issue.

Could it be bed bolts loosening???

I doubt it’s bed bolts, my Rap makes some creaking and popping noises sometimes. The bed bolts would be unlikely. Could be leafs or shock mounts maybe.

No sir. I'm taking the spare down. It's either something there or in the travel of the shocks. Bad shocks maybe. It's crazy!! If someone gets in back and makes the bed travel up and down like a bumpy road the noise is there. But cannot find it. Crazy. Gotta be almost inside the shock. But they seem resilient
