the front passenger side suspension squeaks really bad...over slight bumps you can hear slight squeaking but it is really bad when coming to a stop during braking. the squeaking started a few days ago, i havent done anything to the suspension so im pretty clueless to where to start looking. any ideas guys? its a 95 LX 4-cylinder btw

check yout bushings most of the time that noise could be caused by old dried up buchings

you might have 2 different squeaks,,,,,,,
,,1 ,,your brakes when coming to a stop
,,2,, inner stabilizer bar bushings dry and squeaking over bumps.

im 99.999999% sure its not the brakes...i drove it around for awhile to pinpoint the noise and im realy sure its the suspension...i'll take a look at the sway bar bushings though, thanks....

My car does the same thing and I am going to replace the bushings with polyurethane ones, do they squeak too or are they just a rough ride?

they just squeak. the ride feels fine

I would bet the upper control arm bushings. Since you live in Or. you probably drive in a good amount of salt during the winter. What you can do is jack up your car and look above the tire in the wheel. You will see the upper control arm and it's two bushings that connect to the body. Hose it down good with your water hose, give it plenty of time to dry and then hose it down with penetrating oil.If it goes away and comes back you will need to remove the control arm, clean the bolts and lube the crap out of it.

i sprayed all the bushings down with WD-40 but it didnt help...i guess i'll try to hose and pentrating thing as well as check my sway bar bushings. anymore ideas guys?

Just like MooGoCow3 said, upper control arm bushings.
make a small hole in the rubber boot and spray some penetrating fluid in them. If squeak goes away, you hit the jack pot!. But it'll come back again. At least you would know what to replace.
(Try to bounce your front end up and down, listen for that noise)

i did bounce it up n down, dats how i knew it was coming from the front passanger side...but i cant pin point exactly where from just listening to it...

HONCORD

Its usually da ball joints in the cars that do that. So try to spray some wd-40 in it, like I said in previous reply. If that dont work, that might be your upper strut mounts thats making that noise.
Let us know.
