And i'm pretty light, i'm only about a buck 35 and it squeaks when I sit in the car, or even sit on the fender/hood. I'm assuming it has to be some bushings. But where to start? Sway bars? Rack and pinion?

I have the same issue about the noise. I jacked up my car and rotated my spring on the coilovers about half a turn. The thin rubber gasket thing that sits directly on top of the coilspring is worn. Once I rotated out of the way and lowered the car down the noise stopped. Maybe give it a shot ?

I know what you mean about a squeak. I just did ball joints, tie rod ends. sway bar end links, roca caster and lower control arm bushings and it still squeaks- Im thinking it must be upper control arms next. The problem is the car is so quiet I hear all little squeaks.

Sure, stopped my squeak with wd-40 on the caster arm bushing, sprayed a lil In there and the noise hasn't returned since, it's been about a good 5-6 months...
