Default Suspension Noise....help?

ok in november i changed my struts with kyb gr-2 struts with some option racing adjustable springs.... not the best way to go but cheapest.... so anyway now i notice my the front driver side squeaks a lot, when i push the front end down it sounds springy same with the passanger front but doesnt make noise when like drivers side.?

the strut tower bushings were replaced when i did the struts the back of the car doesnt make noise at all when pushing down....


also when i go over bumps it hits hard ( lowered 2.5 inches) what could cause this?

Have you tried spraying everything with WD-40?

Maybe the lower ball joint on the noisy side. Get under the car and check for a ripped boot. Happened to me on one side and then the other when things started thawing out last year.

I'd grease everything the manual tells you to grease or lubricate. That usually helps with stuff like squeeks. Now creeks...those are different...thank the unibody design and the flexing the car undergoes.
