You must mean sway bar...
I have had front end noises. It was tracked down to worn front ball joints. Spring noise can be dealt with (although not always effectively) with new spring isolator bushings.
Check your shocks for play at the bushings. Same with your sway bar.
Describe the noises and in what conditions they happen, please.

Mine is having the same problem... I know that the leaf springs need some work so I am gonna run it past the spring shop in town and see what they say... after that it is off to a new set of shocks.
Mine squeaks when you stop go or just get in or out it it definately spring related.

I took my Y2K f250 in for 30k service and complained about creaking/squeaking in the front end. The service droid told me there is a TSB about it. They installed teflon spacers (there dime) and walla! no squeak. Check into it. -Jaseun

I have a 2002 F250 4X2 Crew and every now and then I will turn either all the way to the right or left and get a THUMP sound and it feels as though something shifts or moves. I have taken it to the dealer several times and of course it won't do it then. I've got 10,000 miles on it and would like to find out what it is before the warranty expires. Any ideas or suggestions?
