      Question suspension help installing new

      Hi my front suspension sounds creaky when I'm going over small bumps at slow speeds I don't here it on the highway. But in the city going slow I do.

      Is there a direct bolt on with new spring and shock all in one that I could install I just don't want to compress the front springs myself. Just to change the shocks. Dose anyone know where I could get a compleat bolt on kit. For a 2005 aveo it's realy a 2005 Pontiac wave but it's the same thing. I also want to change the back shocks too while I'm at it. Thanks car has 44000 miles on it

      Thank you

      the sway bar bushing had a design change (or something i forget), but the newer ones are sipped to hold lubricant i believe. Any the are relatively cheap.

      If you jack the car up, and take the front wheels off, you will see a bar the attaches to both struts with end links, it runs along the steering rack on top of the k frame. The bushings look like a D, flat side on the k frame, the sway bar goes through the hole, and the round Outer D has the brackr bolting it down.
