my car has 164k miles on it. probably shocks that came w/ the car(i bought it with 124k) so i bought Tein SS's. ever since i installed them i've been getting sqeaking type noises out the front and rear...all sides it sounds like. b/c of the miles should it already be time i change out my bushings? if so anyone have pics of the bushings i should be looking at? and when i look at them should i be looking for typical tear/cracking? other options of course welcome. TIA

 

bump.

and when i am cruising and i let go of the gas something in the front squeaks..

 

bump any suggestions. i did search but there was no answer

 

Check your bushings, that has always been the culprit in my experience.
Your FSM says to check these badboys:

The two on your compensator arm (5)
The trailing arm bushing (4)
The three along your rear lower control arm (3)
The two on your rear upper control arm (1)
Thats pretty much all of them btw lol. 164k miles and you're almost guaranteed to have shot bushings. And that'll cause all sorts of squeaks.

Also check your swaybar bushings.

Circled in red and blue is areas where I find it helps to apply grease, between the bushings and the bar and the bushings and the d-bracket.

In the front, check these:
Upper control arm bushings (1) there's two of them
Front lower fork bushing (hard to see, but its near 4 where the fork connects to the lower control arm)

 

awesome and thanks for the pics. appreciate it very much
