    squeeking got a lot worse over 1 week...

    I know the squeeking is related to the control arms going bad. Question is, how bad is the squeeking? Reason I ask is cuz mine started squeeking a bit about 2 weeks ago. A bit as in only when I'm close to a complete stop....Now....it's gotten to a point where it squeeks all the time. When I accellerate lightly, even while the car is moving. I know roads my be uneven, but it seems like the squeeking is continuous. Is this the "normal" squeeking that everyone else experiences? Or does mine sound "abnormal"?

    Had the same problem on my Avant. I bought a grease needle and injected synthetic grease in to all of my control arm bushings up front. No more squeaks!

    so yours was constantly squeeking also? Like it never stops while the car is moving? How long ago did you grease them?

    So yours is squeeking/clunking constantly regardless of what speed as well, right?
    I'd like to know too about the grease.
