I had a clicking sound when backing up my inclined driveway. One trip to the dealer and they fixed it. Their transmission guy had a SHO so he did mine right by replacing the axel shaft ends or something like that but it fixed it. I think it was an updated version. Let me know if you want more info I can get more specifics from the dealer.
dropped my 2013 SHO off at the dealer for repairs....

I hear a clicking in my 12 as well when I back up with a load against the car, I just figured it was maybe the diff locking in but since I had a mystery oil spot on my wheel on the last trip back up here from TN , as well as it seams like there is no floor heat, and the pealing tail lights so I guess I will get it to a dealer to see what they say. I'm trying to remember if I have heard the same clicking when I try to push the car through the brakes too... maybe I will see if it does it tomorrow.
I installed the thrust washer, Ford part BB5Z-7G273-B, on my right side and the clicking is gone.
In order to disconnect the strut from the knuckle without removing the knuckle, I took a second floor jack and a 4x4 piece of wood cut about 20" long, and jacked up under the spring perch on the strut to compress the spring and shorten the strut. The job took about 20 minutes using air tools.
The part was $2.60 at my local Ford dealer parts department, which is open on Saturdays.

I thought the dealership cant tell it was tuned if you put it back to stock and drove it for a while?
The best way to elaborate it is just like your computer,laptop they can check internally from your hardrive,the same goes for your vehicle,everything is stored in the ECM,then it makes a record when it was re-flashed,when they pull the info they will be able to tell if you re-flashed it back to the stock tune,there could be a debate if your the original owner or not?????????????????????
