My front suspension has been irratiating me lately! lol Everytime I pass over a speed bump or go up a driveway the frontend squeeks like a old dirty mattress! Its embrassing sometimes pulling up to a shopping plaza and having a few people look at my ride and then hearing the squeeky noise as i pass over the speed bumps.

I've had the monte-carlo bar, export brace, new 1' lower springs, and 1 1/8 sway bar installed.
Do you guys have any idea where the squeekness is coming from?? could it be the shocks?? Im even thinking about just having the whole front end overhauled

Did you use neoprene or poly bushings anywhere?

It is most likely the bushings for the sway bar. You need to lube them up to make them stop squeaking.

I want to say I used this stuff.

the bushing from the swaybar are brand new, it's not even a year old yet

Yeah mine did it after a few months, its because they are poly bushings.

BeastMachine67

so the poly bushing will squeek more?

can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet :-) 99% of all mustang front end squaking is upper control arm bushings. grease em up.... I was suffereing that for 5 years (lube every 2 months ...) until I finally replaced them and I haven't heard of them sicne. You should have grease nipples that are impossible to get to at the upper control arm. grease there ...

I actually have yet to have the UCA bushings squeak and they are the original ones and I have never greased them in the 4 years I've had my car.

should have been more clear. sorry. mine did not have the grease nipples (1964 mustang ... yey.....). so that was so dry there wasn't a hope. I'm not saying that all Mustangs constantly sqeak, I was saying if it sqeaks in the front like OP says: probably from springs and sounds like an old matress and it's very embarrassing, then 99% sure it's UCA bushings

Yeah mine was really embarrassing too.
