Squeaky Suspension

[erikas3]

As the title states, my front suspension started squeaking really bad. Whenever I turn the steering wheel or go over rougher road, it squeaks. However, it mostly squeaks when there is load on it (wheel on ground). From what I understand, it's the lower control arm that connects to the subframe or the sway bar link. Is there some way to lubricate this part or is it time to order another one? Thanks

No zerk fittings on any of my joints. When mine was squeaking it was only a week before there was noticable play in it and I had to replace one of my uppers. Of course the pinch bolt broke and it turned into a 2 day bolt extraction. Lift the tire off the ground and push/pull the tire at different angles to see if there is any play in your joints, it may be your tie rod end also. That is what was squeaking on mine.

I already tried moving the wheel around with it off the ground and there isn't any play in it.

Check all the control arms. i have the same problem, well i did then it went away for a bit and came back worse. It only does it sometimes now but i also have a very annoying "clunk". Oh well control arms will get dropped off tuesday nad i wont have to worry about it after that.

sounds like a control arm bushing

Do you know the bushings sell separately for the front control arms? Thanks
