it would help to say where the noise is coming from, if it changes if you go faster/slower/brake/accelerate and the type of noise - squeek, grind, knock, thump... what????

i tried that but its only happens around curves in the road like taking bends and stuff like that i hope its not suspension related like blown shocks i cant afford them right now
but i think im a have to change them i get a clunkin sound and weird creeks inside the cabin now seriously i dont think it was worth lowering it

but back to topic any ideas guys

if it's a squishing or a soft sound, the shock is gone (if it is the stock shock). If it is a hard sound (i.e. metal to metal) then it's the bushing where the shock attaches to the lower control arm. Also, make sure all your bolts are tightened down to spec
