i have just noticed lately that my front driver side strut has been squeking when i drive my car. When i get out and push down on the front it squeks as weel so i am pretty sure that is the problem. Any ideas on how to fix this or how much a new strut would be costing me?

Thanks
Shawn

I seem to have the same sort of thing coming from my passenger side. Coming off drives or frost bumps in the road and I get a metal squeak sound.

I was going to change out my springs soon and hoped that that would solve it. But now I think it could be those Tociko Lumina II's.

I am told they are warranted for life but nobody here (Edmonton) will do it. It looks like I may have to pull my struts and send them to California and let them decide if they are shot or not. This will take a month or so I am sure. That sort of sux as this is my DD and I cannot afford a winter beat this year.

Check with a few of out sponsors to get a price for the strut. Let me know if changing the strut will sort it out.
