My left front suspension makes a horrible squeaking noise. it does it when i brake, or accel, bumps, and steering. Any of you guys had this similar problem? And i need new front shocks, what should i get?

Thx

Check your ball joints.
 






It happened when i went over a really severe speed bump alittle too fast (3-5mph), anyone else have an opinion, thx

I have the exact same problem. It squeaks during any kind of suspension movement, notably turning to the right. I'm replacing my shocks this weekend to see if maybe it's a worn-out shock, but I'll see what happens.
 






I just replaced the front shox...and the squeak is still there....but the ride improvement is amazing...i think Jarret is right on the money with the ball joints...ill check it out tomorrow after work...i think it just might need some lube....but if you shox are worn get new ones....like day and night...
