suspension problem? (added pix)
[[ok, i'm not sure what it is, but theres like a squeaking sound , but not like a high pitched sqeak, but like a spring sound, like when you sit on an old bed our something..and i hear it when i go over speed bumps slowlylike in a parking lot, and when i'm making left turns, so recently i got tired of the sound, so i checked my left tire, where the spring is located, and i noticed what i believe to be is oil buildup at the bottom of the spring, but i'm not sure if this is the source of the sound, or how the heck oil got to my springs, haha, do you guys want me to take pics of it? and post for you to see? ]]
ok heres an update; i took some pics, hopefully you can tell me whats wrong from them..i didnt have time to take the wheel off, so hopefully these angles are ok

RE: suspension problem?
Pics would help. It sounds like the shock is shot judging by the buildup on the bottom of the spring. How does your suspension feel? Does it continue bouncing after going over bumps? Is there fluid around the shock?
Have you checked out the upper and lower wishbones? The bushings may be worn out.

RE: suspension problem?
I'm thinking upper shock assembly bushings ...... not sure of the real part name. Could actually be other bushings also, but those are common for the noise described.
