suspension/springs squeeking
when i drive for a long period of time or when there is a lot of weight in my car...for example like people combine weighing 500 pounds when i brake or slow down or going like 10km/h i hear a squeek from my driver side suspension. my drive shaft was broken so i thought that was it. got it replaced...still the noise. my friend pushed down on the driver side and it creaked...meaning it is the suspension...i dont know what to do...if it is major or minor.
some info:
Eibach Sportline Springs
KYB AGX Shocks
both a year old
please let me know if there is maintanence required or something. thanks for your help

could be ur lower control arm bushing, i've had a squeak like that for a couple months now. when i go up a ramp or slow down and there is little bumps in the road it kinda sounds like floor boards creaking. Went to Gillman the suspension guru he advised me it was nothing major.
What i'm doing is replacing those bushings with ones from energy suspension.

hmm, i don't believe we have the same squeak then. I'd bring it to gillman have him it check it out. when i went down there he brought out a stethoscope so he could hear where the noise was coming from. Man's a suspension doctor, he'll let u know.

I had a squeak when I blew a shock. See if you notice the front end bouncing when taking bumps on the highway, other thing to do remove the strut, seperate the shock from the spring and compress the shock manually. It should give you even resistence while being compressed, and float back up smoothly, without any noise.
