Now before i start, id like to say that ive searched this thread before i posted, as i normally do but, i installed my spc control arms with all the help and insight from you guys and i want to say THANK YOU ALL.

ive been having this annoying saueaky noise sounding like its Coming from the front driver side of the car. New, spc adjustable control arm, new sway links, new bushings, new brakes, new rotors, new kyb struts, new mounts, new eibach lowering springs, fresh alighnment, tires under 6 months old.... the only way i can describe the noise is it being similar to a kids squeaky toy that you saueeze and the air comes out a small hole that makes that high pitched squeak. It is drivinv me insane.

The shop i take it to cant seem to figure it out. Tightened everything again, wd40, but it wont go away, every pebble i go over and it jiggles/squeaks etc... and also the suspension feels great most times but sometimes it feels as if the car is crashing in bumps instead of easing into it,(thank you nyc potholes) would i need bump stops? And if i do, does the kyb struts not come with them?

Now ive ready written a HS essay about this, but again, all insight, comments, and opinions is always greatly appreciated

Definitely get new bump stops...this will make a huge difference. KYB makes a set for the fronts. Do you remember seeing the stock bump stops? they are probably worn -- if they are still installed...I went with the KYB bump stops and it made the ride even better when going over bumps...car felt more planted and no noise.

the set is pretty inexpensive...also get a set of dust boots from KYB, it'll help keep debris from getting in the area of the strut/shock travel.

as far as your 'squeaking sound', does it go away after driving the car??

No, the squeaking doesnt go away. Do you stillhave the link to where you purchased the bump stops and boots?
