99 Civic Front end squeak

I have a 1999 Civic that,starting today,is making a pronounced squeaking noise in the left front of the vehicle whenever I go over a bump,and also when I stand outside the vehicle and push down on it.About 35,000 miles ago I put 4 new struts on it,and I am taking it back to the mechanics (chain store) to have the rear struts replaced because they have gone bad.My question is,could the left front squeaking also be a strut?Or might it be the ball joints or a bushing problem?How would I go about testing these parts?Because I am taking the car in tomorrow,I would like to try to get an idea today before they see it.Thank you so much for your time and help with this!

Re: 99 Civic Front end squeak

1999 Civic's dont have struts (Honda didn't start putting a strut suspension on Civic's until 2001). It might be a squeaking shock absorber or spring, so check the condition of those.

Also, if you press down on a corner of the car, the car should only bounce back up once (very slightly too) so if it's really bouncy then i'd say it's a spring issue.
