2001 Protege suspension issues

I have a 2001 Prortege that has never given me problems except for the suspension. It has always made a little squeakin here and there but it has become more frequent and I now have a leek in my front left boot. I am considering changing out the struts all the way around and instaling a new strut bar. I hope this will help my problem. Can any one think of any other things that could be causing my problems? Thanks Everyone.

Where are you from? squeaking will come over time, well my experience , as your struts fail, your springs will come into play more..... wear more..... die more....

until something breaks

Same here 02 PR5 around 45000m my front left and right struts leaked. Our suspension is good at the beginning but it degrades pretty fast.
Just find a good aftermarket setup and replace all the springs and struts.
