Hi all, I have a 2022 Pro which has been experiencing a strange clunking/shifting under the driver's side seat. Mostly when I stop or take off, but not consistently happening. I can feel something shifting under my feet, and hear it.

Any ideas? Trying to get it in for service but want to offer some idea of what I think is going on (they haven't handled many lightnings yet).

I'm also getting a clicking/snapping noise out of the front left side of the car, which looks like it may be related to an "anti-ting" bushing?

My bed cleats package was tucked under the driver's seat, though it didn't rattle around much.

The axle ting remedy might be called for on your truck.

Same issue on my Pro.
I slide seat forward and back a few times, then lock in position. Knock goes away for a few days, then I repeat.
I think it's the seat track locking mechanism loosening up.

My seat clunks as well, been meaning to call the dealer to get it remedied. If you grab the seat cusion and shake it a bit you can watch the supports pop in and out underneath. Almost like it was a quick weld that broke.

My 2016 F150 had an issue with the seat loosening in the tracks, but this shifting movement feels like it's actually below the floor board, not in the seat.

I’m hearing the same problem on the passenger side in my 2023 Platinum.
