Default Squeaking noise in front suspension

Whats ups guys! I'm new to H-T.

I have this god awful squeaking noise upfront when I roll over bumps. Kinda sounds like a old rickety boat or the frame is tweaking. The car is lowered on H&R's on KYB AGX's. Not to long ago all the bushings were replaced with Prothane ones. I've lubed all major suspension parts one by one and have yet to find where this noise is coming from! Is there grease nipples? Anyone encounter this and maybe have a suggestion as to what it is? Thanks in advance!

Oh yeah the car is a 91 DX.

I had the same problem and it ended up comming from the brake dust sheild. I bent it back some and the noise went away.

Yeah I had that same problem but found out it was the mud flaps rubbing on the ground. Now they don't scrape because they've ground down to the appropriate shape!
