if its a squeaky sound its prolly the sway bar and bushings. Replace them and the shocks since you prolly still have the stock ones.

I replaced my shocks with the OEM Bilsteins, from Mid America. Think they were about $350. This was in my 87...HUGE difference. Rode and handled SOOOO much better. Do your bushings and shocks at the same time and you will be thrilled.

I just replaced my shocks about a month ago. Picked up the Bilsteins from Mid
America for $250.00. (all four).
Put them on myself, major achivement, and it was pretty easy.
Ride is much, much, much better, like a new car.
Alot of the roads here are pretty crapping. :seeya
