The noise is driving me crazy!!!!!!

Guys I kow this has been discussed before but I need to do something like Monday. My struts perhaps have been making these squeaking noise and it gets worst as it gets colder. I am at 86k and I need to get this to the dealership before 100k. Is this the struts? I wanted to go to the dealer ship with a clue so I won't be at there mercy. Also what is a good after market strut if this should be the problem or should I stick with factory struts? Thx for the replies

I don't know for sure if your squeak is the struts, but if you decide to replace them, I just got KYB GR2's from Cattman for a great price (I also put on the progress springs at the same time). This setup makes my 04 with 75K miles feel like a new car again!

I have over 84,000 miles on my car and some members have more. I just love driving my car.
BTW I will be driving down to Miami next month to visit family and friends.

I will do that as well (Go to the dealership). I love driving my car as well. I don't think a 05 with 86k miles is a alot of miles. I bought the car in 04 and I live in Dallas so living in a metroplex city you're going to put on the miles.
