I may have blown a shock...??
Well all of a sudden i started to hear from the front driver side wheel some squeaky, slightly clunky noise each time I hit a bumb. even the smallest bump. Sound isnt very loud, like a dying rat, squaking.. on the highway a there is this bridge entrance which has a pretty harsh bump on it and i hit it twice in 2 different days right with my front left wheel and it felt pretty violent each time I hit it. I was wondering what this could be.. Any ideas?
thanks!

It does sound like a broken shock though
I had a similar squeak when hitting bumps and turning....... it went away when I replaced my steering stabilizer.
Might not be that though if you say the car rides different.

Trust me when I say that you have to hit a bump harder than $hit to mess up a shock. Between having the 20's and crappy roads around DT Indy, I have hit some potholes that look like they could eat my car, I get out, and everything is fine.
But wait, your car is lowered, and you do not know how they did it or what they used. You may have a blown shock.....
No offense... this has been my worry since you bought the car. Technically your shocks should be ok but you don't know what those guys did to it when they lowered it. I just hope you don't find another mess under there like you did with the door panels and handles. Good luck!
thanks guys. My shocks are stock, they lowered it with lowering springs. I will have to lift her up and see. damn thing is too low for my jack, I gotta find another way....
Necrossfire, I may take you up on the offer if that is the case. How much?
