Default Squeek

whenever I drive over a pot hole or bumpy road and my windows are down I can hear a squeek that sounds like it's coming from the front drivers side wheel..... any ideas????

walk outsude your car, and press down on your fender/hood right above your shock. dont dent your car, though, lol. if it squaks when it goes up and down, time for a new shock. though id go ahead and replace em all...upgrade em if you are gonna do such.

well the description is kinda weak really when i think of "squeek" i think more of a something rubbing noise idk does it happen when weight shifts on your car like if your goin slow and you turn kinda thing? or id it just a bump/pothole occurance

If I push down hard on the car I can clearly hear the shocks making noise. I know they need to be replaced. But if I kick my front drivers side tire I hear a sound like, "boing oing oing oing oinggggg".

thant would be your tire bouncing from the fact that you just kicked it

lol well i'm not talking about the tire making noise, it's rubber and would be hard to get that to squeek with a kick. it sounds like metal but i can't figure it out.
