Power Strokes 1994-1997 Upgrades and AftermarketUpgrading or adding OEM or aftermarket equipment to your 1994-1997 Ford F-Series with Power Stroke engine.
I replaced all the spring and shackle bushings, shocks, and cab mounts, and still had that maddening pop you described. I then read here about the fender bolts. Tightened them all up, and whaddya know, no more creaks and pops.
It's the little stuff, like this pop, loose door hinge pins, tired weatherstripping, wiggly/creaky seats, etc, that make a truck feel like an old POS. A bit of maintenance and repair goes a long way toward making the truck feel new again.

Glad i found this gonna check my 96 when i get out to shop, as it does the same exact thing. Hopefully it's just the loos bolt on fender, only does it sometimes, as the body flexes, going over curbs, etc, so it would make sence. Thanks!
