So, I've replaced the shocks with KYBs about a month ago and haven't any problems at all, I love'em. However, this weekend on while driving down some rougher road I heard a slight squeaking coming from the front end, any ideas on what this is and how I can address it?

It's a squeaking that I normally hear coming from yellow cabs and car service Town Cars slamming into every pothole on the street----if that helps at all.

As always thanks!!!

 

You might try tightening down all your suspension components. Can you pinpoint where in the front end this is happening?

sounds like some balljoint (if not all of them) is worn out somewhere in your suspension

i hear the same exact thing whenever i go over a speedbump or whatever else

how many miles you got on your car?

 

it's an '87 GXE with 78,000 miles

 

Also a bad half-shaft might do it...but again, I'd recommend trying to do further pinpointing of the sound.

my 4th gen had 50K miles more than your car and my 2nd gen has like 4x as much on the odometer

 

It could be the strut tower bearings at the top, if they weren't changed....Mine are squeeking now........$%^#$@@

 

Oh....another dumb place the squeaking can be coming from...the radiator. Both my top mounts have come loose, and man, when they rub, they squeak like a ****....you chould have one of them broken.
