Default Squeaky noise front right end.

Hey Guys,

I have a squeak noise on my front right end...Had it ever since I got the car. It only makes the noise over the bumps....

I am thining these things:

1. Link Pins.
2. Sway Bar Bushing.



I am not able to duplicate the noise when I am stationery. If I push up and down on the car no noises happen...but when i go over things like speed bumps and regular bumps...there is a noise..almost like a loose washer...its a squeaky noise...

:-\


Any ideas???

Do you have aftermarket bushings?

Even if you don't, it's most likely the sway bar bushings. I have to lube mine really good about once every 6 months...sometimes twice during the wintertime. The squeak is REALLY annoyingly loud during winter if you don't lube it right away.

But it's a simple fix.

Yeah, I think my car does it more when it's cold.

what kind of lube do you use??

I know wd40 wud be a bad idea since it eats rubber....

And replacement bushings are probably only 30/40 bucks neway..right???


Do you take them off and lube them...or spray on top and bottom of it?

--thanks
