Default squeaky suspension

well i dropped my car and something is squeaking. its coming from the front left fender well. i lowered it with coilovers, and it only sqeaks when i go over a bump and or i turn the wheel to the right. also it does not squeak unless there is a load on it. any help or if someone wants to come out and look at it and help me figure it out i would greatly appreciate it. oh yea its a 94 civic HB

did you knock the tie rod ends out, or did you use a pickle fork to knock them loose? if you ripped the boots w/ a pickle fork...and let all the grease out - they tend to talk a little....

Squeaky like scratchy?? or not?

I know when Ricky and I installed mine i bent the metal piece behind the rotor and it was rubbing...and it only squeaked once in a while and then when i turned..



shocks and struts are two different things..
