F150 clunck

[Bezzola]

I borrow the father inlaws 2013 F150 and ask him about the clunck in the rear when starting out from a start he says been there for awhile
I haven’t had a chance to look at it maybe today when empty it cluncks when weight in the box it doesn’t do it. Anyone have this issue

low on oil or bad ujoint should be checked soon before something happens at 100klms an hour

My 09 F150 I drive for Painting does that. If I takeoff fast from the light sometimes clunk. Sounds like it’s missing a transmission or motor mount lol. Cause it’s a work truck. I just keep driving it till she dies. Curious to hear if anyone knows what it is ?

This is a very common issue for 4wd rear leafspring pickups. Pull the driveshaft and grease the yoke slip-spiles.

I describe it as feeling like something is shifting in the bed on accelerating from a stop. When braking the spline extends and binds up lightly. On application of power the spline needs to take up forward rotation of the pinion and it releases with a clunk.

I had this issue and cleaning the splines and re greasing solved it.

One of 350's had the spline clunk. Cleaning and lubing fixed it. I even bought the fancy Ford PTFE lube.

I was under it yesterday and didn’t see a slip joint
It looks to me like ujoint one piece shaft and ijoint

There is some slop in the drive line some where. Probably need to put er up on a lift to find out what exactly it is

In your case the yoke at the transmission end is the slip-spline.

I used a file to smooth up the splines a bit, cleaned it and then used a synthetic grease. I had to Jack up back end , put it in neutral and rotate driveshaft to get at all the flange bolts

Check your spring hangers, My uncle had one that rusted through and broke.
