Question about sound from struts

I hear a squeeks like someone is boucing on a bed, i even got out the car and sat on the front end of the car and it still makes the sound. Does that mean my struts are bad or about to go?

Thanks....

Has the control arm ball joint recall been done? If so, change your struts.

My control arm i believe has been recalled, i went to the dealer for some other service and i ask them about all the recalls. They said everything was done.

This sound was there before and after i changed my springs to the eibach pro kit.

So i guess its safe to assume its the strut.

my car makes the same squeeky noise in the front end. I took it to my mechanic and he said it was the front end control arm bushings. You guys mentioned something about a recall regarding the front end control arm. Is this something i can just bring to the dealer and have them fix even though my car is not still under warranty?

front end squeeky noise

I called the daler the other day and thay said that there was no recall having anything to do with suspension or the controll arm. i have a 97 acura cl 3.0 im sure that it is the control arm bushing, it made this noise before and after the aftermarket suspension. any ideas?
