lol try it lol cant hurt and might fix the prob at the same time lol the only other thing it might be is the top rubber mounts for the shocks have worn out lol but i would try greaseing the springs up first

i had a prob like this it turned out to be the spring coils were rubbing on eachother so i put some crease on them and never herd the noise after that

Could be loads of stuff, first thing is to get under there and look for clean bits if anything is rubbing.

to be honest my car is sat on 40mm lowering springs on standard shocks and it doesnt feel asif the car is sagging or anything its just its sort of squeeking it could be anything but at the moment i suspect its the shocker,Ill jack it up tomorrow and have a quick look see if i can see anything and hopefully its nothing.
But thanks for the reply guys needed an oppinion.

Hi id take off the shocker clean it dry pump the shocker up and down ull be able to tell if a seal is broken etc,also if it feels slack,if you feel the car is sagging on that side change it (personal appinion)

Cheers Tom
