Squeaking Suspension Anyone?

When I come to a speed bumps or any bumps I slowed down and when I go over it I hear a squeaking noise on the driver side of my wheel. Took it to the dealer and extended warranty don't cover b/c it's a wear and teared items. The dealer side I need to replace my shock obsorbers. $270. Is it hard to replace this by myself? Anyone? and how much is the part costs?

I occasionally hear the squeak on the rear left wheel of my car after I park. But it doesn't bother me much as its only occasional and after I park. I brought it to the stealership before and since I couldn't demonstrate the problem, I couldn't get it fixed. Are the shock absorbers you mentioned the same as 'shocks' that everyone talks about when lowering the car? I'm hoping to get rid of this squeaky problem when I lower my car. Thanks...

If it sounds like a door "creaking" open. Then its not your shocks, its your side skirts flexing. Mine does that as well.

It's probably your sway bar bushings making themselves known... After a while, they dry up and start squeaking like a bed. You can either get them replaced, or maybe just lubricate them.
