Squeaky Suspension?
As the weather got warmer and I can now drive with the windows down I have noticed that my suspension squeaks when going over mild bumps. My car, 2014 E350 sport, is still under warranty. Should I have this addressed?

Take it in. Probably suspension bushings. Not a big deal to change out.

Good tip on bushings. Thanks!
How long / how many miles should we expect to get out of our shocks with steel spring suspensions? 10yrs or 100K mi?
If we're not dropping the car, is it best to go OEM replacements or aftermarket (like Bilstein or similar)?

I just replaced the rear shocks in my car, had about 107k miles. I think they were gone earlier as I noticed the rear tires had some cupping and was making some road noise. I just got Bilstein shocks, they were about $80 each on rockauto.com. I think OEM was more like $130+ each.

2014 E350 Sport
I had the same issue on my 2014 e350 sport. Ended up being a bracket/clip that was on the brake pads that would squeak when I drove over a speed bump or pothole. Took the shop 10 mins to fix
