Default Suspension Problems....

Alright... Well I'll make this quick...

My front drivers side suspension "creeks" when I am going slow over a bumpy surface, it even creaks with light movement on a flat surface... I live on a bumpy dirt road, so these stock struts take a lot of hits from small pot holes... So today, when I walk out of my work, I notice that my car is crooked, yes friggin crooked, the back end is tilting down from the right, so it's almost like the drivers side were the creeky shock is in being umm compressed to it is lower...

Does anyone know what this could be?

search man, it's your control arm ball joints. you'll need to replace them or a temporary solution is to grease them up with a grease gun and a grease gun needle
