    when we did mine, we poured a bit of oil/grease/slippery stuff into the cartridge bits at the front before dropping the shock in. maybe it could be that? if its only coming from the fronts?

    basically make sure you lube it up before insertion
    Well slap my trumpet shifter!

    You put oil in the front,to help with heat dispertion.

    Shocks shouldn't be squeeking full stop.

    Mine never did on any of the cars that were replaced.
