    It seems like my right front quarter panel is loose. I thought it was something with my suspension but when I grab the truck at the wheel well and rock it around it sounds like the quarter panel is loose.
    Any ideas on how to tighten this thing down?
    Thanks

    Not sure how that could be. Have you looked under the hood at the bolts? Hows the alignment of the panel. If you are hearing noises from the front right, check the passenger side cab mount.

    The alignment of the panel looks fine. When I’m driving the noise sounds like it’s just right and under the glove box but it’s coming from outside the cab.

    After further inspection I think you moight be right. I think it might be the bushings on those cab mounts.
    Thanks

    That's what it was on mine. Dealer fixed it in 30 minutes. Mine sounded like a suspension clunk/clank.
