Default Sqeaky suspension

Hey guys, I have had my suspension on for about 1 1/2 yr and it has started to sqeak just recently and still rides fine.

I was just wondering if the struts were blown or maybe just a lack of lubrication or bad bushings. Sus. technique springs with tockico blues

I've never heard of blown shocks squeaking (could be wrong though), but most likely it is a bushing problem. Have a buddy bounce the car while you poke you head around(without getting squashed) and see if you can hear where it is coming from.

pretty sure wd40 won't fix this problem, ill check the ball-joints when i get off work. The body does have almost 150k so im sure the rubber is pretty beat up

bad lower ball joints won't cause a "squeak" like that. My vote is bushings.

You are telling me that lower ball joints dont squeak, when bad?? You, need to read your helms somemore.

Push down on your front end... up, and down, up, and down.... Balljoints

I got 240k miles on my stock bushings... never squeaked.. Ball joints lasted 170k

the squeak is definetly obvious when you press up and down on the suspension, so i am assuming this could still be a number of things..or could it be lowered to ball joints?
