I recently put on some KYB AGX's on the front of mi car. Everything seems to work fine, but when it's wet outside or it rains, the driver's side strut(I think) starts squeaking and creaking...it is really annoying + embarrasing. What could be wrong? Should I change it out? The other side does not do it at all. Could it be the spring? They are new, too. It seems that it is the strut because when I get out and reproduce the sound by pressing down on the driver side in front it sounds like while it compresses, it squeeks....could it be bent? Any help appreciated...And by the way..when I have the funds=Bye Bye KYB's !!! BUt for now, it is what I am stuck with, so Ill have to make due.
