Are my struts the cause of all this noise??? 2g AWD

[project4g63]

I have what I believe to be the original shocks and struts on my '95 GSX. I am wondering if this could be causing the noise I seem to have all around me. I have sqeaks everywhere especially over bumps.

Also I have 125000 on the clock.

Please help...

It could be your struts or bushings or both. My rear pass side strut was blown and had no oil left in it so it would squeek alot going over bumps and driving down rough roads. Check the shock body and around that area, if you see oil spray or alot of dirt sticking to the suspension/fenderwell then you prob have a blown strut.

Btw, from your profile, ditch those Denso plugs, they jack up your gas milage and will fail you at about 8+ psi. I tried them, they suck balls, so much for $40 worth of spark plugs, guess what, my honda lawn mower uses the same plugs our cars do....

Add ball joints to your list of things to check.

Densos were tossed long ago. Been a while since I updated. I have since sold the car to my girlfriend and put new Ngks back in. I had the ball joint recall done, other than that nothing else with te suspension has goon wrong.

yea, i would inspect the whole control arm assembly. make sure the nuts on the ball joints is on tightly. also check for accessive rust on suspension parts too.
