Right Front Suspension Noise
I have a 2011 Raptor while driving at low speeds over bumps in the road it sounds like there is something loose like a muffled thumping coming from the right side, at freeway speeds there is no noise........just had the shocks rebuilt (i hope) at a place in Vegas.......quite a good road trip. But the noise still exists and drives me nuts next is re-torquing everything tonight (yep even the 406 ftlb bottom shock nut). If this re-torquing doesn't work where do i go next. I sure would like to get this fixed......any help is greatly appreciated.

Raptors are very hard on the tie rod (steering) ends out by the wheels, their the same units ran on the 150's but with the wider front ends the load and leverage is greater. If you add wider than or larger tires it excellerates the wear. I'm running 37x12:50x18 on my 13 and have replaced both at about 60-65 thousand, my 2012 has done better as it's still running the same 35x12:50x18 but it's the same tire and tread, my 13 is running a more aggressive tread as well. I'm not saying that's it, but I'd sure get the front end off the ground and check them.
