Hi everyone,

The front driver's side of my Midget 1500 started squeaking whenever I
go over bumps or press down on the fender or bumper in front.  It
sounds just like squeaking mattress springs (behave!).  I'm guessing
that this is the shock absorber going bad, but could it be anything
else?

If it is the shock, I have a spare one, but I don't know if it's any
good?  Is there a way to test it out before I install it?  It's the
original type of front shock.

Thanks!
