Default Weird noises coming from my 08

Whenever i drive nowadays and i go over a speed bump at any speed my truck squeeks as its coming off the bump from the back end and whenever i turn at full turn or a little less i get a strange creeking noise from the front end. Also whenever i put the truck in drive i hear the tranny grind into gear and then a little thrust forward and its not smooth at all. Since i have an 08 i still have factory warranty til 2011 so do you think warranty will cover all of these problems or are there any aftermarket solutions. Any help appreciated

Yes, it should have the bumper to bumper warranty if under 36K miles.

Could be ball joints or shocks causing the squeak. Tranny's are a little noisy going into gear sometimes. Have it checked though.

WOW!!! Is that all? Sounds like 3 different problems. First, ball joints or tie rod ends on the front when you turn. In the back, either the shocks or the u bolts aren't really tight enough. I would definitely be sitting on your dealerships door Monday morning and I wouldn't leave without being happy. If they had any questions, take a tech out for a drive and show him the problems your having.
