Default squeak from the front end

i am getting a squeak from the front passengers side suspension. I was wondering if there was some sort of grease fitting in the suspension like a bushing or something. Or if it was the spring or strut??

I have the same noise, so when I got new tires, I asked them to lube it all up, and they said it wasn't in the suspension, but that my gfx kit cracked underneath and made the noise.

Does the squeak seem most obvious when you go over bumps or when you turn the wheel?

Default RE: squeak from the front end

If it is only when you go over bumps, or when you turn... Push down on the passenger side of your car, If it squeeks when you do that then it is probly your upper or lower steering arm bushing. It could also be your shock but that isn't very likely. If it has nothing to do with going go over bumps or turning, then sorry for wasting your time.

Noises are hard to find you have to keep listening and checking all possibilities in the area. Spray silicon on the bushings in the area . And see what happens

Been there! Had a squeak on the right side only when turning. Thought it was the ball joint. During replacment of ball joint, ended up being tierod end. Get a buddy to listen while you turn the wheel back and forth.good luck.
