    I started to notice that my front suspension has a bit of a squeak on bumpy roads.

    Has anyone had this problem?

    If so how did you fix it?

    TIA

    Check sway bar bolts for tightening. Could be a bushing has bitten the dust too.

    Spray WD-40 onto all joints/junctions, including bushings and sway bar bolts, but especially on the very top and bottom of the front springs as a temporary *test* to see if the noises go away.

    You sure that's wise? Rubber and WD-40 don't really go well together, especially if you apply heat.

    Unless the WD-40 is ignited, it's fine on rubber: http://www.wd40.com/Brands/wd40_faqs.html

    What sounded like a squeek in the front suspension of my 348 turned out to be coming from the front trunk latches, and it was fixed by spraying some WD-40 onto the latches.
