I would agree

After driving the truck last night, its does seem tighter.......but the popping/clunking noise is still present and the side to side creaking noise is also still there

43,000 miles only on the truck.........

Check the sway bar bushings

I checked them when I was under the truck, seemed perfect

clunk, clunk, clunk away........

did you ever find the issue?

KOZ45

Yes.....hopefully

Truck was dropped off at a dealer.....and is back, quiet and smooth!

Replaced the driver side lower ball joint and replaced multi-function switch (for the wipers)

Also performed TSB 14-0090, lubed driveshaft splines and adjusted pinion bearing preload (too much factory play)…...both which cause a clunk

Here is the info on the TSB 14-0090 that was performed:
Some 2011-2014 F-150 vehicles built on 1/1/2011 and through 4/1/2014 may exhibit an intermittent click or snap-type noise from the rear axle on initial light acceleration from a stop while in drive or reverse. The noise may also occur on light acceleration after changing direction from drive to reverse, or reverse to drive.

thanks for the info. I wish I could upload a video. I changed sway bar links but it's still there. Dont see any play in ball joints either. 2011 with 64k miles. It's been doing it for the last 5k miles at least but it wasn't as bad up until the last few months. Mine is a knocking noise passenger side front. If I drive and swerve left I get it and also hitting bumps. Driving me nuts . I do all my own work on my vehicles (as long as I know what it is that needs ro be fixed lol) in this case i don't.

Mine is doing this exact same thing. When turning right into my driveway absolutely 0 noise but left making a noise

I didn't see any play in the ball joints either, but the dealer said the one was shot

They also said the driveshaft clunk can and will travel up to the front end, so the TSB was performed on the splines and the shim was installed in the pinion
