1998 std over 100k.
Interstate shocks installed at 25k.
Left rear interstate shock now squeaks.
Has the time come for me to replace the shocks?
Please advise.

Thank you
Greggh.

Have you tried spraying a little WD40 on the bushings to see if that stops the squeak?

Been looking 4 progressive 440 but I can't find the.
Discontinued maybe?

The progressive air shocks are my next thought.

Anyone have experience with the air shocks?

I have Progressive 416 air shocks on my '98 Tourer.  I like them but others here have mixed fealings.  Do a search on "Progressive 416", there was a recient topic discussing this.
