If these shocks are original, it might be an idea to replace them.

The squeaking noise may not be coming from a faulty shock but possibly from a dried out rubber bushing.  
Worn wheel bearings normally make grinding or howling type noises.

Did your post make sense when you proof read it? I can’t figure out what your BMW’s problem is if I can’t understand your post. Please consider finding the punctuation and shift (not shift lock) keys on your keyboard.

I have an '89 325ic, a '94 325ic and an 85 325e. My son drives a '95 325i. I’ve owned MANY other BMWs over a 34 year period, probably over 20. They are my favorite brand of car and motorcycle as well. I’ve fixed a lot of different things on BMWs in a collective million miles plus. If I can figure out what you are trying to say, I may be able to help.

Lets start by replace those very old shocks/struts and those bent rims.

I also vote for better formatting of your message, but at least it is far better than those WHO USE ALL CAPS. 🙂
