Squeaking at left front of car I just had my shocks and springs replaced all around the car, hoping that it would get rid of this squeak that I had. Well the squeack is still there. You can really hear it when you go over a speed bump. What could the squeak be coming from, and how do I get rid of it.
Thanks for the help

Yeah I had the same problems and my lower control arm bushings were shot. The bushings are rubber so look for cracks or pieces of rubber gone. If not that then check ball joints.

^^ Correct. If you see any cracking, chunking etc. then it's time to replace these bushings. Also, if the metal sleeves in them have any clearance around them, they are probably bad. They are located where the control arm attaches to the frame.
