Default bushings?

noticed today after installing new window motor that was like a squeaking sound from the front end. Brother said me be the bushings since they are rubber?

jack it up from under the control arms and shake down the tire. feel for anything loose.
then take a suitable prybar and put a bit of pressure on the bushings for the control arms.
if there is excessive play in anything, you will feel it.

rubber bushing aren't known for squeaking. but if you look and do what mattel said you can find it. i had a squeak once that drove me nuts, searched and searched. finally turned out to be a wheel bearing. sometimes you can use a bit of wd40 to squirt places and when it quiets it down you found your squeak.
