need help on shocks
ok so i dropped my car about 8 moths ago with eibach pros
after about a month i got back shocks cuz they were blown
a few weeks ago i got rims and sat night i get a squeaky noise in my front left wheel.... everytime the elevation changes it squeaks on me, speed bumps, bumps, unsmooth pavement. whatever
so i took it to a shop they said to jsut use WD40
would buying my front shocks get rid of that?
thanks please reply ASAP
also does anyone know what might be the problem?

im not sure if shocks would fix that prob... i have H&R springs with new shocks and my left front squeaks as well.... not quite sure what it is but i dont think shocks have much to do with it

Mine squeked for while too - but then it kinda stopped - it still does it when i go over speed bumps and the coil rebounds - but i guess it just needed a little road grease to accumulate??

maybe they didnt install ur springs right. could have left the coil spring pad out. who knows. maybe ur cv boot is messed up. u said u bought rear shocks? i hope they were aftermarket cuz ull just blow em again. the spring rate on the prokits will get to them eventually

i'm pretty sure its the cold weather and lack of moisture that is causing that. at least that is what is the problem for me. all you need to do is just like the guys said, jack the car up so the shock is totally extended, then spray some WD40 on the part of the shock that is fully extended, and the noise will vanish.
