    when i go over bumps in the road there is a squeek that comes out of the left front wheel. any idea as to what this is? my dad said he doesnt think a shock would make that noise but what do you guys think?
    thanks for any input

    Shocks will squeak like crazy. My driver side shock/strut is bad and squeaks anytime I hit a bump.
    No More GTP for me.

    i figured thats what it was. i couldnt think of anything else really that goes up and down like that that would cause squeeking. (if there is something then cut me slack idk that much about suspensions) the squeeking is annoying though and that brings me to my next question which may end up resulting in lowering springs when you install the lowering springs i hear you should replace shocks/struts so do is there a certain type that you replace them with, a shorter version or someting? or just normal oem ones that are new?

    Usually a squeaking or creaking sound from the front end means lower ball joints.
