    In this video, please listen for the squeaking, especially near the end when I pull into and up my driveway and come to a stop. Is the infamous sway bar squeaking, or is it something else. Actually, I would describe it more as a chassis creaking noise.

    Lubing and refitting my front lower shock mount bolts and front swaybar bushes stopped the creaking noises that were radiating up through my steering.

    Thanks. Video was too large to upload. But I will give that a shot. Otherwise, I'll see what I can do about editing the video

    Just an update... I did use spray oil (WD40) on the away bar mount bushings and end links, as well as inner/puter A-arms and ball joints, and the creaking went away. If and when it returns, I'll redo properly with grease. Thanks.

    I recently replaced my sway bar bushes as they, in combination with my tie rods caused squeaking over bumps. The sway bar bushes are very cheap.

    I replaced the bushes myself. Aldous Voice has a really good guide on how to do this. Wiggling off old bushes is a real pain though.

    Replacing the SB bushes eliminates 80% of squeaks. Easy diy job.
