Since the weather has gotten colder my suspension has developed a rather nasty sqeak that occurs everytime i hit a bump, push on the fender manually, or steer in either direction...:( Which is the most likely cause and what should I replace first? Thanks!

Replace nothing! You obviously have a camber kit since you have springs. The camber kit is squeeking. WD-40 should help. Mine squeeked like crazy and it drove me nuts. I would push on the fender and it sounded like a fat chick was having sex on a squeeky matress. I just soaked the whole damn thing in wd-40 every day until it went away.
By the way what type of cambe rkit do you have? Is it an essentric cam type?

Hmm, I actually never got around to installing the spring or most of my other mods, I needed to sell them for the $$$. Should this still hold true with stock suspension parts??

thanks!

I wouldn't see why it couldn't do the same thing with the stock suspension. Try it out see if wd-40 helps. You shocks could be going bad too.

Thanks, ill definitely try that. I haven't been driving the car in a while because of the foul weather, but next time I do I'll definitely let you know. Shocks are a good possibliity, they are original with 90k miles.
