TLDR;
I've posted on this forum a couple of suspension issues I've faced in tbe past and I have been able to get a reliable fix for suspension issues, especially if it has to do with the squeaky sound you hear coming from your suspension. If your suspension squeaks like a '42 Ford, ask them to replace your jounce lines.
Background:
Initially, the suspension was really quiet. Over time however, it developed a slight squeak probably and has been a major concern for me, but since it really only affected me while in the driveway, I haven't really paid much attention to it for a permanent fix. FFWD to last 2 weeks when the geniuses in charge of roads put in 4 speed bumps in a 300-yard span on my way to work. Eight traversals a day sent the minor annoyance into a significant problem. It was so bad that I was embarrassed to drive over the bumps if there were pedestrians near enough to hear the squeaking. Since I already had a service appointment scheduled, I added it to the ticket.
Resolution:
When I picked it up this past Tuesday, I was told the jounce lines were replaced. I didn't really think that would be a fix since I've heard others say they needed a damper replacement, but I am happy to report that the squeaking is completely gone. So if you're experiencing such, just tell them to replace your jounce lines and you'll be good to go.
