Default May not be the shocks

Think I might have a busted or failing front passenger shock that is failing. It seems to squeak when going over speed bumps and it there is another noise coming from up there.
Was under the car last weekend and everything else looked fine, all bolts were tight, tie rod ends, fine. Even checked subframe and x brace bolts, all were ok.

Anyone have any low mileage shocks laying around they want to get rid of ?


Updated 8/15/10:
After doing some more research on the forums, I have found some other threads where people have had a similar problem. It turned out to be the Control Arm Bushings failing. I haven't had a chance to get back under there and check them out, from what I can tell they are kind of hard to see.
Any of your have any experience with the control arms ? Removing them ? Cost to replace ?
Spare parts laying around ?

If I had coilovers on my AP2, I'd hook you up but I haven't bought a set yet.

Don't have the money to throw away on coilovers at the moment. Eventually I'd like to get some KW V3's... eventually.
Just looking for some OEM replacements.
