Tailgate Noise
Hello All,
I have a 2015 KR and a forklift tapped one corner of my tailgate while it was down. I was able to bend the aluminum back with not much visible damage. Fast forward about two years and now my tailgate is rattling with noticeable slack on the opposite corner that was hit. I have tried to search for some sort of bushing kit for F150 tailgates but haven't had any luck. The slack is not forward to back but is up and down. IOW, if I lift up on the bottom of the tailgate, I can feel the slack. Any ideas on a DIY fix?
Thank you in advance. Brent
