When I go over large bumps I hear a squeak out of the drivers side front. My list of suspects include sway bar bushings. I replaced with poly bushings years ago and haven't greased since. Could be dry but I might just go back to the rubber bushings.
Can it be bad struts? They're KYB replacements and about 10 yrs old. What about the giant rubber bushing in the shock tower? Prone to wear or movement that could cause squeaking?
Another noise is a slight popping when I am stopped but turning the wheels. It's not that loud but sometimes I can feel it slightly. I'll inspect tie rods and balls joints. Do the bearing plates for the springs wear? Anything else to check? I have new rubber bushings for the control arms that I never got around to installing, a possible source.
Front end is also lowered (ST Springs). Had I not recently had an alignment I'd put the stock springs back. I still may. I like the look but with speed bumps routine, a lowered car makes life harder.
