Noise in new Shocks, Help!!!

[David Mahen]

I just got the Ranchero RSX shocks installed on Monday on my 02 trac and i have been noticing a odd noise when i make hard left turns. The noise sounds like a low pitched squeaking. It sounds like it is coming from my right rear shock and only happens when i make left turns. Is this normal, and if not what could it be?

Welcome to the site. How many miles do you have on your ST? It could be that you need to have to bolts that hold down the bed tightened. Putting on stiffer shocks will bring out things that were being muted by the soft OEM shocks if you just now changed them out.

Could be the backing plate rubbing the brake drum, was an issue a while back on earlier ST's....
