Did the squeeks ever go away? Maybe they weren't eminating from the shocks or sway-bar bushings to begin with. I don't know if the Ranchos have anything like a break-in period since they were already installed when I purchased my VX, but maybe they've "settled" a bit and now need to be adjusted to a different setting? I think you could dial away from zero and still get a smooth ride around town. As a matter of fact, my driving is mainly on-road and I believe mine are still set more towards the middle.
