Explain your suspension set-up.. Does it sound like the spring? Or if you have a camber kit .. it might be that.

yep me too!
i greased my SPC camber kit about a month ago(i took the joint apart and lubed the bushing) and now its squeaking again. its pissing me off, i'm gonna raise the front of my car up a little bit on friday and regrease the camber kit again. maybe it will stop.

what would having bad lower ball joints cause?..cuz i wouldnt know..i had the progress camber kit ready for install but the stock ball joint wouldnt move a damn inch...i pounded it and tried everything...even with the instructions it wouldnt move..so i sold em on ebay...guess i should purchase a brand new set of camber kits since i was told the left side of my car is messed up..alignment wise
