Default quick question

So there is a squeek in the front drivers side of my car. I am 99% sure it is just a bushing. So if i aply silicone lube it should go away correct? Sorry about the noob question. First car.

I would jack it up and take a look, maybe bounce the front end and listen, could be the strut?

I had a simular squeek too. When I would hit a pot hole or drive over a speed bump I would hear a squeek. I removed my front swaybar and it never squeeked again. So, I would say its a bushing on your swaybar and I'm not saying to remove it.

I'm guess it's a sway bar end-link bushing. You can try disconnecting it (or it may even be loose)...see if it goes away, if it does, replace it.
