Coilover test?

so I took my car to my mechanic to check why my coilovers/suspension are squeaking and he test drove my car over deep Chicago potholes to listen to the noise it was making.i feel like my car swerved a bit now afterwards 🤦*♂️ Should I be worried about my coilovers? Are they made to take deep impact? Or I am over exaggerating? Btw I have flex Zs coilovers

There are a lot of components on the vehicle that can be damaged by that sort of abuse. Bushings, tie rod ends, sway bar end links, wheel bearings, struts, etc.

​​​​​When was the last time you had an alignmemt correction done, they usually spot all the worn components when trying to align the vehicle because the numbers won't hold steady after adjustment.

my alignment was done about two weeks ago but I recently installed new stabilizer links and control arm bushings last weekend but yeah last time my alignment was done they had no problems but I’m going back tomorrow and hopefully everything turns out okay 👍

Is the squeaking coming from the front or rear? If it's coming from the front do you have aftermarket front upper control arms?

no I have stock arms I guess they’re acdelco arms on Both side all suspension parts are new.I just realized that my passenger side ball joint is ripped bad but the wheel doesn’t have any play.My front suspension sounds like an old bed like a creaking spring mattress
