Screetching sound when I hit bumps or lane dividers... what could it be?

Im a noob at this but I drive a 02 ep3 and recently I noticed that when I hit over bumps or lane dividers on the freeway I hear like a loud screetch coming from my suspensions. I dont know what they could be... could they be bad shocks? Also I run on Tokico Dspecs with Eibach lowering springs fyi. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

I also run D-specs on an 02 with no problems. Maybe a bushing? Time to take the tires off and look around.

Common Problem!

ESPECIALLY with city driving,
but i've heard occasionally on the farm you get the same problems...

Check for cats under your car before driving!

they like to climb on hot tires and fall asleep, once the car gets moving, they cling to the suspension...
you hit a bump, and they will screetch!

Does it meow at stoplights?
This is commonly associated with those symptoms...

((Sorry, i have no useful information for you, mine doesn't do that, i have stock shocks with nusprings))
