my 58 beetle has a squeak upfront when either one of the front wheels is going over a bumper. is this a bad shock or a grease fitting that needs to have lube injected into it?

| put grease in all the zerk fittings and drive around. then put more grease in. if it still sqeaks its a shock or something else. |

Juan,
Yeah I disappeared but was here all the time, just didnt have anything to say or ask for a while.
Yes the car is done except for the headliner which I need to do when it gets warmer.
I drove the car two days ago. I am now restoring a original roof rack. Its almost done.
Photos coming soon

| Don't forget, you MUST jack up the front of the car to allow the grease to penetrate. I believe in greasing until fresh gease comes out of the joints. This "changes" the grease instead of just topping it up. Then wipe the excess grease off of the axle to clean things |
