Suspension Noise
I have a 97 f150 flareside lariot SC and when im driving i her a squeak coming from the front end.. almost like brakes.. but i just had all new all the way around put on.. also there is a thump and noise coming from the rear end when i take off from a start.. i dont know what the problem is with either... anyone have any ideas.. i was told there was a recall on the Leaf Springs.. but i contacted my local dealer and gave them the VIN and the service manager said that my truck was not included.. anyone who can shed some insight.. let me know

The bunp in the back is a mystery to me, sounds like leaf springs, could be shock absorbers.
The sqealing in the front is one of two things. If it has disc brakes, they sometimes sqeal anyway when they're really just fine. If it sqeals all the time it could be the bearings, especially if you do alot of off-road, water tends to kill bearings.
Hope I helped!
