TIP: Suspension noises

Well, a couple days weeks ago I started having insane squeaking, and clunking coming from the suspension. Everyone was telling me it was my strut bearing. I saw somewhere that people say washign the strut gets rid of noise. I took my power washer, sprayed the ENTIRE suspension and guess what.....no more sqeaking or clunking AT ALL. Every once in a while, I think i can hear it but that might be because I was used to hearing it before. Before you do any work, WASH YOUR SUSPENSION!

now wouldnt the clunking mean that something is shifting? Im not entirely sure how the washing helps..but if it works for you then congrats. I personally kinda like to know WHY a solution works not just do something and hope it clears up..so if someone can fill me in id love to know.
