Cluncking noise at slow speeds (less than 20mph) from right front suspension.

I just had it in for a recall on Monday. Unfortunately I got the dreaded “unable to duplicate” response. I am going to see if I can get one of my buddies to help me replicate it while I lay under the truck while they push the body side to side (to compress the suspension). I can make the noise happen on demand by doing so… but unfortunately my wife isn’t heavy enough to make the body roll enough for the suspension to travel enough to make the noise happen lol. Whenever I can get someone heavier to assist me, I’ll report back on what I find… but it might be a while lol

Exact same thing here. They couldn't find mine either. Personally I was thinking it was a worn strut bearing/bushing. But at 4500 miles?

Any word on this one? My '25 RR developed the noise around 10k miles. My '26 should be here in a couple weeks, curious to compare the two.

My 2024 2.0 diesel Raptor is going to change the front and rear Fox shocks under warranty with just 8000miles. I've started to ear the clunking noises since 1000miles and never abused it off road. Maybe it was a bad batch of the shocks. Anyone has more insights why some of these shocks have been failing so early?

My 24 Raptor seems to have the same issue. I only hear and feel it when the truck is cold. After it warms up, the noise seems to go away. Truck has 24k miles.

So I finally had shocks replaced under warranty. And the noise has disappeared for now. I had this problem from September 2024. And now 2026 April, the sound is gone

It is a bad strut, just make sure you get the updated version of the strut. If they just replace old strut with similar one, it wont help.

Did it ride bouncey? I wonder why it rattled otherwise

Opposite of bouncy. The ride was horribly stiff. It was almost like riding a lawnmover.

Check the part number from sticker on shock body. What does it say?
