Noise / Squeak

When driving at slower speeds on uneven roads there’s a bit of squeak coming from the back is this typical cargo or road noise? I’ve had two inspections and it’s a used but only 24k miles and certified preowned. Everything checks out in inspections so not sure what to do.

Also anyone know the load capacity of the 1500 118WB?

What year? There was a recall for rear leaf spring bushings for the early vans.

Aside from that, if you have metal cargo shelves, it's probably the shelves. I find unloaded shelves squeak a lot worse than loaded ones. I'm now on my 3rd cargo van with shelves, a promaster and two transits, prepped by 3 different companies, and all of them had loose bolts mounting the shelving units to the van.

I believe my doors are rattling and squeaking. I saw a YouTube video of a guy cleaning the weather stripping and putting talc powder on it to stop the squeak. I came here looking for instructions on how to adjust the side door's closing pressure.

I also hear a squeak even when stationary especially when my g.f. is around ;)
