When parts of your car are talking to you, you may need more than automotive repair.

If it is a shock, you may need to replace it but there are many more moving parts back there that may try to communicate.

ya i know for a fact its the shock, just wonderin if there is anything i could do or if I have to replace it, its for the best get better then KYB's this time round

If your shock is squeeking then its prob on its last legs. My guess is your seal wipers and seals are trash thus causing the shock shaft to rub on the end seal housing.

My 2G KYB's never squeaked; they just blew out all their oil after less than 20k miles and 1.5 years. Like the man said; get something better...which won't be hard to do.

OK, you've found the one set available that's (IMO of course) not better than KYB's...

well then what would you suggest then? Koni's?

Koni's are a good choice. Yellow much better than red, but either would do. I'm not sure if both models are even available for a 2gDSM? I know that the yellows are available.

Adjustable Tokikos = Illuminas, and Illuminas are better than anything made by KYB.
