[FC] Squeaks and creaks

[Keith Hammett]

I just got done redoing the front suspension on my rampy.  This included
removal of the crossmember, cleaning and repainting everything that came
off.  I installed new bushings on the a-arms, replaced the shocks, replaced
the front bearings, and installed new brake lines/hoses.  After doing this I
noticed that when I move it or sometimes just get into it there is squeaking
from the front.  I think it is from the springs, mine were cut by po and I
did not replace them.

You might check out your springs for rubbing...  I am hoping mine will go
away once some miles get put on.

Mine does also but I think it's coming from the ramp.
