Aboout squaking sound from front wheel?
I don't know if it's the shock or cam, or just lube.
I know it's not lube, becaue I took it to dealer and lubed up and still has the sound.
The squaking sound happens whenever I go over speed bump. at anyspeed really..
I want to fix it but dealers either don't know or don't want to fix them.
So I need to know what is wrong exactly, to tell them what to do.
I need to do this soon before the warranty runs out.
Any comment is appreciated.

I can't really get a good sense of the sound the car is making form your description. Do you mean a squeak?
Could it be your seat? Possibly you have a bad spring?
If not it could be the bushings going bad?

IMHO, I think a different approach would be better. If you or anyone here makes a best guess at the root cause of the problem and you "tell them what to do", and they do it, and the problem still exists, you have no recourse whatsoever. They did what you asked. A better way would be to have the Repair Order simply state, "Diagnose and eliminate squeaking noise from front of car when going over speed bumps." Then, whether under warranty or whether you pay for it, their responsibility is not complete until they achieve that objective. You have formed a contract where their task is elimination of the problem, not just doing what you or someone here guesses might be the problem.
