Front Suspension Squeaking....Any Ideas??????

It seems like everytime I go over a bump, I get a squeaky noise coming from the front end and its annoying as hell. I am thinking its coming from the poly urethane bushings. Or its coming from where the upper part of the spring contacts the rubber piece. Im not sure where to start or exactly what to do.
Any ideas?

My truck was doing the same thing, drove me crazy. I found that the 3 nuts on the top of the shock housing were loose on both sides. Probably from my Daystar install. I tightened them up and no more squeek, that is where I would start.

if the above statement does not work. I'd buy a grease gun and grease up anything that moves in the suspension. I have done that with mine in the past, and its been quite since the day I greased everything up.

Same with my skyjacker spacer. The dealer was the one who installed it. 2 days later it started squeaking. I took it back and they tightened the bolts. No more noise. Good Luck.

Did you put a light coat of grease on your ploy bushings? If not thats where the squeek is coming from, put poly bushings on my sway bar and did the same thing, had to take them out on grease them and put them back on.
