    well, you have struts - not shocks. secondly...yours should be fine. they're only what, a year old?

    Don't people say to push down on your bumper and if the car bounces up and down after you let go more than once then the shocks are no good? Squeaks could be the rubber pieces that the springs sit on or even the connectors for the sway bar.
