I’ve tightened mine twice. I think without confirming, the mojave shock loops are larger. When the weather is dumping snow and pouring rain every 2.5mins I’m taking them out and checking.
Am so ready for spring!!! Winter in not my favorite Season! Some people love it. My blood is use to Cali Sunny Weather. Here in the South it never stops raining. Snow & Icey Rain as well. Been nice last few days though. Guess I need to have bolts checked too.

Mine's making it, only sometimes on right turns. Not really a clank, more like a soft knocking sound, but from the same area.

May need to have them take a look. Mine sounded like the bed was loose. But came from near drivers door. Weird how sounds can drive you nuts. I wish I knew more about vehicles I just know when something doesn’t sound right. Lol But am totally loving my Gladiator wouldn’t trade it for anything. 😀

Great attitude! Yes I had my dealership look at it, so far they haven't found anything

Lol. Thank you. If anything hopefully they will find it. With all the technology you would think they can figure a way to tell you what’s going on. I sure get notifications when my tires are low!!! 😀

Good to hear it was something simple and not a major problem.

Well, mine was the drivers side hard top bolt (over the drivers head, under the freedom top) had backed out since I last tightened it. I will blue loc-tite it if it happens again

Hi I just couldn’t take it any longer and showed up at my Dealership with no appointment. Turns out was a loose bolt on the shock. Drove it home. No noise so far. Yay!!! 😀
Mind if I ask who your dealership is in SC? My local dealership isn't great, or even good, and I'd like to try somewhere new if its not too far. Are you happy with them?

Wow. Good to know. Amazing how bolts can come loose. Glad to hear you found the issue and resolved it.

It’s Spartanburg Dodge in Spartanburg off I85. They are great. Been going there for years. We have owned several Rams & Jeep’s over the years.
