Screeching, squeeking comeing from the front
Alright, I dont know what it is. I lubed the swaybar bushings and it didnt help. Whenever I hit bumps, dips, and even leave from a stop and accelerate theres is loud ruckess coming from the shocks, I suspect. Even when I get out/in the car it makes this screeching/squeeking/compressing sound. Its like any pressure or compression on the shocks makes this annoying noise. Any ideas?

I would jack the front of the car up under the front cradle, use a 2 x 6 under the cross member.
Try sitting in the car and see if you still hear that noise.
If not, the I would inspect front end. Check to see that all of the shocks, tie rod ends, bushings, etc are tight.
There are rubber bushings inside of the upper and lower control arms, try spraying some silicone on them.

Same problem on my 2000
I just bought a 2000 coupe with 32K miles on it. Mine makes a similar noise and I was thinking shocks. The place I bought it from suggested having it lubed as they may have washed away some of the grease when they washed the wheel wells.
I was also figuring a 6 year old car with 32K miles on it may just need the bushings replaced.
I will watch this posting with great interest!

I took the front tires off and sprayed some silicone lube on all the rubber bushings. This made it quiters but the noise is still there. I guess I will just wind up replacing the shocks, these look to be stock and my car has 91k miles on it. I guess I will be looking into a set of 04 Z06 shocks when the time comes.
