I have a 98 Buick Le Sabre with 106,543 miles. I had the back struts replaced about a year ago. After getting them put on i notice my back end seemed low. The car rode and still rides smooth so I never thought of anything, it just looked low in the rear low. Is that ok? My other question is they squeek recently for about 2 months now, very loud everytime I hit a bump, step on my brakes and accelerate. It's embarrasing driving around and sounds like there is something wrong, what is wrong with my struts?

springs are what hold the car up and they will wear over time and cause the lowrider effect , as far as the noise it could be the spring isolators which are rubber cups around the top and bottom of the spring or the strut mounting plates will cause noise , get back there and bounce it around with a buddy and try to isolate the noise , if you have the springs replaced all of the things i mentioned can be checked by the shop while its apart
