My 2019 Ranger Lariat started making the noise recently. In my case I have traced the noise to the driver side outside mirror. Nothing to do with door gasket or door alignment. Simply folding the mirror inwards seems to eliminate the sound. The next step is finding what in the mirror enables...

That applies to the Fox kit. My Bilsteins specifically said to have silver end at bottom. Do not have install instructions for Eibach.

The black end goes to the top.

The service manager and I could feel it coming from the rear of the truck rather than hear it.

After all this I decided to replace the rear shocks with Bilstein B8 5100's. The result has been an outstanding improvement!

Strangely enough, the dealer decided to replace the Driver Side rear leaf spring. Sound is gone for now!

My final comment is that finally I have good towing thanks to a new set of rear Bilstein shock absorbers, they have made everything right again. The FX4 rear shocks are useless except for off road.

Just got my truck back after they changed the driver side rear spring. The sound/vibrations are gone for now. The noise may have been the front spring bushing. If it comes back will let you know.

Did anyone who checked ubolt nut torque notice if the forward ubolt nuts were to spec (98ft/lbs) and the trailing nuts were loose (74 Ft/lbs) as happened in my case?

I checked the torque on my truck and discovered an odd thing. The two bolts on the front side of the axel were tight to the point that I don’t know what touque they were set to, for sure it is over 98 ft ibs. The other two, the back/rear of the axel around started 70ish. Brought those up to 98...

Just got back from the Ford dealer service. They advized me that Just got back from Ford Service. They advised me that slip joint service is not a warranty item and can be expensive due to removal of the rear drive shaft and also involves the loosening of the central bearing bolts. They also...

They are at the forward end of each of the two parts of the drive shaft which goes to the rear end differential. The first attaches the shaft to the central differential and the second attaches to the end of the forward part of the two piece drive shaft. Hope I got that right!

Ever since new my Ranger rear suspension seems the bind after coming to complete stop. I expected that it was the brakes but noticed that it does not do it in cooler/cold weather. That eliminates the brakes in my opinion. I am thinking it may be where the driveshaft connects to the transmission...

So did I. It works very well and needs no wire harness changes. My brother-in-law XLT Fx4 sport option went to a trailer place to get a trailer Brake Controller installed. Result was not able to install and the tech damaged the wire harness. Wire harness needed to be replaced and he ended up...

Just to mention that I have concluded that I will be using the standard load tires with 30psi in the fronts and 38 in the rears. This is the result of experimentation. The trailer now tracks very stably and the standard load AT tires ride much quieter and smoother than the Light Truck all...

Just got back from a 1200 mile camping trip. Used the oem LT tires that came with the truck at recommended 38psi front and rear. It towed well but was noisy and harsh on the road without the trailer. Back at home I reinstalled the same size standard load tires at 30 psi in the fronts and 38...

What makes you think I am overloaded? The numbers are accurate from the trailer manufacturer. I am asking about tires and their relative resistance to lateral sway from a trailer.

I also have a set of the LT 265/65/R17 tires on OEM wheels and I now use them as snow tires. However when I towed my trailer with them last summer they were no better than the current ones of the same size but non LT tires.

I have a 2019 Lariat with the 17" wheel/tire combination ( 265/65 R17) and the FX4 option. I am wondering how much better towing would be with the 265/60 R18 wheel combination. It would seem that with the tire cross section ratio reduced from 65 to 60 and all other things being equal that the...

Just got a quote for the Fox 0-1 rear shocks. I was really shocked. Priced out at $ 349 each before taxes. each. Another approach just occurred to me, it was goaded by getting prices from Ford for the Fox 0-1 rear shocks. Up here in Canada the price at local Ford dealership for for a pair of...
