Quality bump stoppers

[GStrength]

I'll keep it simple. I recently dropped my car 2.2 inches in the front and 2.0 in the back. I changed my ball joints with cheap ebay ball joints a month ago. I noticed an annoying squeaky noise from the front under the car. It's coming from both driver and passenger side. When I inspected the vehicle, I noticed that both bump stoppers some how came loose and became stuck at the bottom of the strut. So I cut the bump stoppers off and now I dont have any on my front suspension? I assume that perhaps my struts are traveling to far and possibily causing a squeak noise, I have noticed struts making a squeak noise on other cars when travel is excessive. What is your take on my situation?

You most likely have bad sway bar endlinks.....that is a common squeaker. But its not advisable to drive with no bump stops......just get some OEM ones and cut them to fit right.

What kind of ball joints did you get? Some of them you are supposed to pack with grease before you install them.

Are sway bar end links supposed to have allot of play or no? When my tire is off I can move them rather easily. Is that normal for the end link to move front right to left with no force?

I havent had bump stops for several years now. My Konis are still doing fine.

ok so i replaced my sway bar end links with moog, but the squeak continued. I'm going to change out the lower ball joints and replace the cheap ebay ones with a pair of moog ball joints. second i'm going to change all the bushings too. do you have to put any grease on the bushings when installing new bushings?
