Whenever i get into my car, my front driver side struts squeak. I weight 180lbs so i don't think i'm that heavy. haha. but! is my struts blown? whenever i hit a bump, it squeaks but it don't feel like it's bumpy. or maybe it's not my struts?

i dont think so, it could be just spring rubbing againts the strut... mines does it all the time when im getting in but doenst do it often... its because on the aftermarket strut, i didnt put the rubber thing under the spring that stops the rubbing... if u are concerned about ur struts going out, go 2 ur car and shake it up and down, if it goes up and down easy, then its blown, if its firm... then ur fine

my car does the same. but no leaks or anything (that i could see with my rims off.

maybe wd40 on the springs n stuff? or is that a bad idea? what abt your bushings? i dunno either lol.
