Squeaks over bumps!!!

Ok now im getting frustrated. There was a post a while back about squeaks and lubing up suspensions. So i tried the WD 40ing at all nuts and bolts in the front right suspension area (where it squeaks), didnt work. I cant take it to the dealer cus im over my warranty so anyone with the same problem? can anyone relate? i want to get rid of this noise!

o ya the sound is like an old bed making squeaky noises... dont ask me how its making squeaky noises... u can use ur imagination

I developed a front end squeak with my hotchkis sway bars. It would consistently squeak when I drove over speed bumps. A lube job by the dealer eliminated the squeaking.

Below is a pic of hotchkis sways and bushings. The sways come with zerque lubricating fittings for the bushings.

Just curious but you're profile says you have a 06' and this would be covered under your warranty, do you have a lot of miles on your vehicle that would cause your warranty to be over? If that is the case then this could have a different solution also.

haha yes its an 06... but i got it in may 05. and im at 40,000 miles.... but the squeaking started at 20,000 miles and the dealer said they coundnt hear the squeaks... ill try spraying it tomorrow... lets see.... but hopefully someone could really help me out on this....
