Default Driver Front suspension squeaking?

Do our bushing dry up & squeak. My driver front end is freaking squeaking like a *****. I tried spraying some liquid grease, which helped for like a week then it's squeaking again. I do have coils not sure if the drop had anything to do with it but damn, Getting annoying. I just cant tell exactly where its coming from. Any thoughts?

Before lubing anything, I'd get underneath, loosen all the big bolts, load the suspension properly for neutral height, then re-tighten all the bolts with a proper torque wrench. In all likelihood, whomever did your suspension install did not do this properly so you have squeaking.

Ummm only install was coils & it was Tommy From Music Box whom has installed like half SoCal coils & what have you. The coils have been in Since Aug last year. The coils it's self isn't squeaking. Plus the squeak just started like a month ago so if were the install & after a Track day at Fontana, Big track at Willow Springs & 3 days at Chuckwalla. Pretty sure it would have squeaked way before that.

OK. Bolts can come loose. Especially chassis bolts. I'd still do what I said first before spraying lube on anything.

Hah! If you're here in Boston you'll be blowing your brains out like I am. I've lost 3 nuts in my suspension in all different places over the life of the vehicle. Of course all I had to do was order and torque them right back up but yeah every now and then I get squeaking or clunking and I end up jacking up the car again just to fix it.
