Happy Holidays to all!

Every time, I roll over a speed bump or any bump for that matter, front suspension is annoyingly squeeky.
I can hear it at highway speed as well, over bumps or entering a turn.
Is there any way to grease whatever may be the cause?

Thanks,

Joe

Squeaky front end can be any one or combination of these things :

Worn swaybar bushings
Worn shock bushings

Worn shocks

seized brake caliper sliding bolts
poor brakes/improperly working brakes

not tight enough subframe bolts

cv's make be on their way out

power steering fluid low/leak/need bleeding

You can also look through the links below. I just typed in 'squeak' in the search box and out they came.

Have fun !

My van was pretty squeeky and creaky for the first couple of months I had it , then I took it for a fast hard drive on some logging roads around Lake Cowichan and when I hit the pavement on the way home it was waaaaay quieter. I think it just needed a good stretch of the joints.

You could just get underneath and grease all of the grease points you'd be surprised at how some simple maintenance can make a huge difference.

Hi,
I've had this a couple of times.
On one occasion it was the Sway bar bushes and teflon grease solved it.
Another time it was my upper balljoints. Again I had to peel off the boot & re-grease, as mine do not have a grease nipple.
Hope you get it sorted, I know how annoying it can be!

Cheers

I had this on my 95 oldsmobile and it would happen on when it was rainy out. found that the bushings on the rear control arms had broke and so there was rubber rubbing against rubber and would only squeak when it was damp. replaced bushings and now its all good.
