I have a 97 civic ex witha stock suspension and my front driver side shocks are making weird noises... it squeaks everytime i hit a bump on the road... i can physically go up to that side and push down on it, and it would make a squeak... i dont know whats wrong... there isnt any loss of height, so i dont think my shocks blew on me and it doesnt feel any worse driving around...

If you push on it, and it bounces back, im not talking about wimpy but bad -- then yes, your shocks are blown and I dont think blown shocks would change your ride height :cool:

Hahaha, yeah great description huh? Well dunno how to explain it if youve never pushed on what a GOOD shock should do. It should rebound, not bounce...

If you want to know what a blown suspension is come take a look at my ride. I can step one foot in my drives side and push down on that side and it will drop a good 3 to 4 inches easy with no effort. When I hit a turn going anything over 20mph Im leaning up against the drivers door it leans so bad!
