Squeaking sounds (seemingly from undercarriage)

[shornche]

Mine sounds EXACTLY like this. Can only hear it with the bed window open. Did you ever end up fixing it? 24 rptr

Nope haven’t had time to drop off for dealer to diagnose. Lmk if you figure it out

okay yall, so after months of the ordeal, service centre said they're gonna replace the shocks. long story short, that actually seemed to get rid of the squeaking. i'm relieved that they finally solved it, but also quite worried, given the car was not even 2 years old when the issue started, at only around 30k km, and trust me, it's a city crawler (mostly, maybe that's the issue huh?).

hard to imagine a future where this happens every 30k km, hopefully that's not the case. anyway, enjoy the present yall.

Me too! Also, there was one “nutsert” (threaded rivet) on the right side that was loose in the sheet metal of the pinch weld, and you could move the fender by hand and watch and hear it move. I squeezed the rivet a little with vice grip pliers to tighten it, and reinstalled that bolt with silicone sealer adhesive. No more squeaks!

Thanks to Topher & John for mentioning this. I had the exact same squeak sound and finally made time to troubleshoot. It was the rivnut/nutsert closest to the door that was loose in the sheet metal.

Went to the hardware store to make a cheap "tool" (6mm x 1 bolt, nut, & washer) and finished setting the riv nut so it was fully secure in the metal. All fixed!

The squeak was getting pretty obnoxious, glad it's gone.

I’m getting more of a clunking noise from the front left (driver side). Has anyone experienced this noise? Ranger Raptor suspension clunk
Only happens below 20mph, and on uneven roads (video is off-road). I work on an undeveloped jobsite and this popped up this last week (11k) on my 2026.

I haven't heard that sound yet. It might be worth checking your front skid plate & side step bolts to make sure nothing is loose. It almost sounds suspension-ish.

That's what mine sounded like too, it was obnoxious . Did it on mildly bumpy roads and on the highway, like the truck was purposefully testing my patience .

I'm also getting a very annoying squeaking sound coming from behind the cab in my '26 2.7 Lariat - similar to some others on this thread. It's noticeable mostly when on uneven road or bumping out of driveways, and almost always it happens when I have a back seat passenger - almost NEVER when the back seat is empty. The squeak really sounds like it's coming from a mount or an attachment point - like what @TheTopher and @grandtorque mentioned in this thread.

My nephew was riding in the back seat and when he listened, it definitely sounded like it was coming from outside the cab, and behind him. He speculated it was my bed cover, but we both went outside later and grabbed it and moved it around a little, but it was silent. It's not the bed cover rubbing on the bed rails, that's been eliminated.

I will figure it out eventually see if my son can come over and I will just keep driving in out of the garage
