Question Front end squeaking?

So after a couple pulls with the car and some good ole fish tails, the front end of my car has been giving me the cherp everytime i go over a speed bump, bump in the road, or something of the like.


Now, I'm going to be an optimist here and think it's just some grease thats needed and call it a day but I feel like I should be prepared for the worst and get the wallet ready...

I guess my question here is what could be the WORST situation I could have, or what are more likely situations?

there are so many things that it can be that it's hard to say.
You would have to do a bit of search and destroy to know.

First things first, as anything in the front suspension been replaced, or removed recently?

To my knowledge no. I recently picked up this one. It's weird because it does it when it's colder, today was 78 in my area and didn't hear a single squeak, even over dreaded speed bumps. This might just turn into a weekend project after I switch out the tail lights. Got to find a garage first though...

ok, first things first,
i hate you and your 78 degrees, (on the upside it was above freezing for the 2nd day in a row for the first time in a looooong time here, lol)

as for the noise, check the swaybar links, and check that the nuts and bolts on the arms/ball joints are tight enough. if you have questions when looking at it feel free to email or text me.

My bet would be the sway bar bushings need a little lube. It's common to get some noise in the cold and it go away when it's warm.

Best regards,
