Default Suspension Issue

wad up,

I have a Base 08 w/ 15000ish, anyone ran into any suspension problems (excess squeeking, roughness)

I dont think i am very hard on the suspension in particular but it seems to be wearing faster than it should. I would Def like to find the problem while its still under warantee.. i am planning on changing it eventually but want to do most all power-mods first.

i appreceate the advice/suggestions

For us to even give you a ballpark you would have to be much more specific on the problem.

IE: "sounds like?, coming from FR, FL, RR, RL?, feels like? Happens when/during? I looked at the suspension and...?"

the front and rear squeeks pretty hard over bumps during the compression travel of the shock the rebound sounds fine, i am not talking about hauling azz over them but mild "great" virginia roads... i know this is vauge but you know when you drive an older vehicle it just feels worn out.. its an 08 i know its wearing too fast.. i am checking it out today..

Check your shocks for leaking and check all of your bushings/joints. Any leaking grease like around ball joints or torn bushings should be easy to spot if taking your time.
