im getting a squeaking in my front end whenever i go over speed bumps or any other bump for that matter..been trying to track it down for weeks now and my front end is sturdy except my broken sway bar link which i recently fixed..but that wasnt the issue..
for anyone having this issue check out radius arm bushings i ended up having the front half of the bushing missing on my passenger side upon futher inspection i noticed. plan on fixing that today..hope this helps any other ideas for quieting a front end would be great

I have the same problem. Anytime my front end takes any kind of bump or shock, it squeaks. Signs of a bad shock/shocks.
Sit on your hood near each wheel, if it squeaks, your shock is likely gone bad.

I had the same with my rear coils moving around caused by the rubber isolate on the top hat. It slipped out causing my rear to squeak over bumps.

I fixed it now and put a rubber hat on the coil and got rubber O rings to hold the sleeves tight around the shock body.

Yeah just make sure your springs are seated right with the grooves on the top hat and lower shock perch.
