Transmission clunk && steering wheel squeal
Most of the times when i shift gears to reverse (park to reverse, drive to reverse both) there is a very noticeable clunk which sounds like is coming from the rear of the car. kind of embarrassing. also i know my rear shocks are leaking, not sure if that attributes to this problem.
also another issue, when i drive at a slow rate (5-10mph) and press the brake and turn the steering wheel left or right a bit it makes a sequeling noise that sounds like its coming from the steering wheel. this does not happen all the time and i just recently noticed it start happening but that may be due to me playing music pretty loud whenever im in my car
car has 153k, 2006 is250
any ideas on either issue? thank you!

Does the noise from the trans happen only when you park on a hill?
Loosen the front lug nuts, jack up your car, remove the wheel, inspect the brake pads...especially the harder to see inner most pad. Alot of pads now come with a wear indicator that will scrape the rotor when worn below safe. Also check that the brake dust shield is not hitting the rotor. Lastly, check everything in the suspension; check to see the ball joint is not popped out the UCA.
Good luck!

no cel - when i took the car to a local transmission shop a week or two ago they said if there's no cel there isn't a major problem and to come back when it threw a code. they wouldn't even put my car on a lift. im trying to fix this problem before it creates more (and is more costly to fix) if possible
