Few weeks ago I noticed this squeaky noise coming from my suspension. At low and high speeds, anytime the suspension compresses. It only comes from the Driver side. I looked at the shocks and seem to be ok. (Usually blown shocks, u can see oil / grime around it, correct?).
Could it be the shocks or bushings?
Its LOUD... ppl inside the office can hear me drive up.

A lot of times ball joints will screech when they are worn. Does the sound happen if you are not moving, but turning the steering wheel lock to lock?

Dry, cracked bushings will squeak. Metal on metal will make a horrible screeching sound.

It probably wouldn't be as loud as you describe, but you might want to look for a busted sway bar end link.

So I paid close attention to this yesterday. When turning the steering wheel while stopped, I hear the sound. I do remember damaging the rubber covers that go around the ball joint last time I replaced my CV Axles.
