Default Squeeking when going over bumps. Bushings?

Sup guys! Today the problem just started. When I was going a bump at my school, I heard this squeeking noise. I'm thinking it could be the bushings. So how do I lube it? Do I have to remove the whole sway bar??? Thanks!

maybe you could be a little more specific as to where this noise was coming from and the different symptoms. it could be a number of different causes

K thanks for letting me know that. Thats why I'm not getting any responses. Whenever I go over a bump or and imperfections on the road, I hear this squeeking noise in the front. It almost sounds like metal to rubber squeeking. The only thing I can think of is the bushings of the sway bars.

The first things I'm going to check is the bushings. HOW DO I lube them???

Use an areosol white lith grease. It will work it's way inside the bushings.

Might want to check your upper and lower ball joints. My car was doing this exact same thing on the front passenger side and my lower ball joint was shot. Replaced it and the noise is no longer there. Should probably take a look at those since when those give out and you're driving at a decent speed, you're fucked.

Aite thanks guys for your input. It works great. I sprayed all of the rubber suspension parts with silicone spray. And so far, Nothing yet. Let's see how long it last. Anyways thanks again for the solutions.
