sounds like somethings not right, ive had the suspension out on mine a few times.
have you had much of a nose around? its really strange cos ive had this with lowered springs but never with standard set up.
i dont reckon its to do with your wheels, possible spring sag i spose :?
gotta be either springs or dampers, take a wheel off each side and just have a nose about, that way your not going too in depth but u may find something.
wheres everyone else :wiggle:

The banging noise on the ack axle is normally from the exahust catching the rear beam. You need to undo the system and twist ti all to make the hoop over the beam sit as high as possible.

no idea about the squeltchign noise, just have a look round.
