What owners wrote

This issue is from date of purchase , excessive noise or clatter in the right front suspension as something is loose or broken. Ford continues to claim it is the shocks making noise but the service tech's believe it is not normal. I have spent 6 + months trying to resolve !!

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford f-150. The contact stated the u-boats on the side of the vehicle that hold the rear axle in place, were not properly tightened by the manufacturer. There was a clanking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle whenever the contact drove over a bump in the road. The rear tires were balanced and an alignment was performed, but the failure continued to occur. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who confirmed that the u-boats were 50 pounds under torque.
