My Front Squeeks

It's been a couple/few weeks since I got my car dropped on H&R Sport Springs...

I've noticed over the last couple of days that the front of my car squeeks when I go over speed bumps... Is this normal? There doesn't seem to be any noise coming from the front on normal driving...just over the bumps...(and coming on and off driveways)...

Should I bring it back to the place that installed the springs? Or is this normal and I should just chill out? I really don't want to take the drive unless there is really something they can do about it...

Thanks for the opinions...

Mike

you should get your shocks checked out, they might be blown.

Yikes...I have a hard time believing that, since I have only 7500 miles on them...

I hope that's not the case...

I have set up an appointment for next Tuesday for them to take a look though...

If that is true, then I am certainly willing to live with it...and avoid the trip to my installer...

I will wait for more opinions and replies to this thread before cancelling my appointment on Tuesday though....

Is this the general concensus? That this is normal?

I had the same squeak on my 03 when I got my H&Rs put on. All you have to do is lube up the ball joints and the squeaks will disappear. Thats what worked for me. Your schoks should be fine....
