Default Squeaking from front left shock over bumps..

I have noticed this for a while, but it sounds like my front shock has a leak. I only notice it when going over bumps with my front left, and not the front right, so that has got me concerned.

Last time I looked I couldn't see any leakage from the shock, so maybe I am just hearing things.

Has anyone had one of their shocks on the sport suspension go out on them?

Default Search the forums for this...this has been a common issue...

...many have found that it's the actual caliper squeaking and not the shock. By the way...this happens a lot on the sport package...

Default See if it still squeaks going over a bump...

with the brake pedal depressed. If it stops, it's probably the brakes.

Default Sit on the right side instead :-) this sounds like......

the old control arm problem with the B5's. It could also be the sway bar bushing, which squeaked like this notoriously on the TT's.
