Metal rattle noise over bumps?

[Mikeymac25]

Hello all anyone reading this if you have some first hand experience chime in 2019 ranger freedom offroad ucas with eibach 2.5r coilovers having a noise sounds like a metal rattle like noise over harder bumps not so much smaller and i can’t locate if it’s driver or passenger i checked over all ball joints and bushings everything looks good and thinking it could be end links i upgraded to the tan and green beefier ones still no dice but better cornering atleast. Scheduled a dealer visit as im still under cpo warranty but kinda hoping to not give the truck up any help is much appreciated!

Check the strut mounts up top. Sun visor not clicked in or rear seat not latched. Those 2 get me all the time.

Very often, this turns out to be loose anti-sway bar links. Check ‘em out.

For me it was my brake pads. Specifically one of the front ones. It was missing those springs that keep it from rattling and would make a horrible noise on bumps and uneven roads. It was driving me nuts until I finally figured it out. I’d try to move them up and down with your hands and see if that replicates the noise

This may be way off base but I was under my ranger yesterday to remove skid plates to jack up front and found the two bolts that the skid plates share were not tightened during my 10k service at Ford dealership. Fixed my rattle

One time, my small breaker bar slipped through an opening in the jack storage area and was bouncing and rolling around between the cab floor and the passenger side rear storage bin. It took a while to figure it out.

I am having the same issue and the only spot I’ve found loose is the drivers side rear shock absorber bottom bolt. This shock moves freely about a quarter inch left and right and also the top half sheath of the shock is smacking the interior portion of the shock making noise. This is supposed to be a bolt that simply unscrews and the nut should catch the box it’s installed within and not move…of course it’s spinning freely and they either loc-tite’d the heck out of it or it’s seized or something but I couldn’t get it unstuck with a wrench and impact…going at it again this weekend to try and get it tightened up. Check yours.

If I recall the nut is captive. Undo the bolt.

Agreed if should be captive…when I go to undo the bolt it doesn’t come out it just spins

For me, it was a random nut or bolt left in one of my metal shields under the truck.
