Default Squeeking Struts

When I am driving in my 05 Neon SXT with under 35k miles on it and I am going at a low speed sometimes when I turn a curve I can hear a squeeking noise in the front end. Also when I go over a speed bump or anything that will make the car bounce a little I can hear it. I believe it's the sturts, is there anyway possible that I can make this stop? Has anyone else had this problem? My car sounds like it has 200k on it lol.

mine does the same... except mine is a 2001 with 39k on it. unfortunatly we bought neons and not bmw's.

I could be the way the spring is sitting in the perch, but who knows... I'm doing a complete bushing replacement around the end of next month. I'll let you know if that fixes anything.

I thought I had a squeek in my suspention, it turned out to be the ebay CAI rubbing on the metal around the hole of the fender XD promptly fixed it by repostioning the mounting bracket (it was one of the cheap brakets)
