Squeaking front suspension won't compress

[Justin J]

I've had a squeak coming from the front left suspension, so I started diagnosing and trying to narrow it down.

I jacked up the car and both A arms droop as normal.
Put a jack under each A arm and lift esch side 1 at a time, Right side compresses into the wheel well, left side just lifts the car.
Must be a seized strut, thinking nothing else would have the leverage to lift the whole front end. so I replace the struts.
but the problem is still there, what is it?

Thank you
JJ

forgot to mention the springs are eibach sportlines. (they were on it when I bought it 4 years ago) but I've never had a problem with them.

I would think that your lower control arm bolts were torqued with the suspension unloaded. Try loosening the control arm pivot bolts then jack up that side of the suspension and torque the pivot bolts with the suspension fully compressed..
