Exclamation Help! Serious suspension sqeak on left side of my 1995 V-6?

Hey all. I have a serious suspension sqeak on the left side of my 1995 v-6. I took it to a place and they said it wasn't the wheel bearings, and the noise is getting worse. The ball joint seal seems to be bad so could it be the ball joint? I dont know anything about suspension....it sounds like a loud creaking sound whenever the car turns or goes over bumps now.

HELP PLEASE!!

I have the same problem but on the right side of my 95gts ... sounds like 2 ppl having sex on an old matress when turining or hitting bumps. While changing my brakes on the right side I noticed that the rubber around my ball joint is broken but still secure on the joint itself. Maybe that is the problem but it almost seems like the sound is coming from my struts in the fender well.

You all have rubber bushings that are 10-13 years old, and are drying out. If you're still using the original shocks, they're in the same condition.

If you want to get rid of the squeaks and groans, you'll have to install new ones, or graphite polyurethane bushings, mounts, spring isolaters, etc.,

Getting old ain't fer sissies -human or automotive . .. .
