    Whenever I go over any kind of speed bump, my car always makes like a bouncing noise or something. I am not sure what it is. I am thinking it might be the springs (TEIN springs). The previous owner said it was the strut bar, but I haven't really looked into it. He also said it could be that the springs need some sort of oil or something. Any ideas?

    it is very possible that it is your bushings on your sway bars..is it coming from the front or back of your car?

    It sounds like the front, but I could easily be wrong.

    maybe your struts??? i heard that TEIN springs (or any aftermarket stiffer springs) will wear out struts fast.

    I actually had a similar problem with mine and it was the bushings. If they weren't properly lubed on install they tend to squeak on compression. Do you also notice it when you brake hard?
