Front End Squeaking

Front End Squeaking
I did a search, but nothing exist like what I'm experiencing. My front suspension is squeaking like someone is jumping on a spring mattress.
It makes sounds on bumps only. Any ideals?

might be your ball joints going out. could be something else too, our suspension has a lot of parts. I would go under there and lubricate one thing at a time with something like WD40 or grease to see where the problem is coming from.

I see A-frame bushings as well. You're right! A lot of stuff is happing under there...

Likely your sway bar bushings, especially if you see them deteriorating. Mine were creaking a ton whenever I'd drive over uneven surfaces at slow speeds. Greased them up and haven't had any issues the past 8 months or so.

I have a squeak coming from my top control arm ball joint, but yours maybe different. If you have a gopro you can mount that inside the wheel well pointing at the suspension and video a small drive with it recording and you can post that on here and so we can better help you out.

It's coming from the sway bar bushings. I can hear clearly from the bushing but the video does not show well from my iPhone. It's too dark down there, but I can hear it and I can see it move at the same time when I push down on the car from the hood. I put some WD-40 around it and that help a little, but some of the sound is still there: not much though...

Yup thats the sway bar/stabilizer bushing! Grease it up! If the noise keeps coming back you may want to replace it, as it looks a bit worn. Good thing that part is pretty cheap and easy to replace.

I can't find a DIY for sway bar bushing. Should the wheels be on a car ramp or jacked-up?

You should be able to leave the wheels on, jack up the car put it on jackstands. Make sure both wheels are hanging freely, and then you might have to undo the lower plastic tray to reach the two bolts that hold the swaybar bushing clamp on. Simply unbolt both sides, the bushings usually have a slit cut in them to easily remove and install. But before you install the new bushing clean the parts and lube with a grease. Super easy!
