Hey guys.

For some reason lately my car has this annoying habit of making a squeaking noise when going over bumps, a good size hill, or anything else that isn't level ground. It's nothing earth shattering loud or anything but it gets annoying constantly hearing it and was wondering if I could spray some WD40 on anything in the suspension that could be causing it to happen. Think that's a good idea or will that probably not do anything?

Thanks all. Gotta live with this before I get the new springs, shocks, and struts.

All it is is a permanent solution to a problem. The advice is priceless yet it costs you nada.

You're welcome.

You get what you pay for, when you have the springs out you should replace the spring isolaters, and control arm bushings. That said it is most likely the sway bar bushings that are squeaking, you could try spraying silicone in there to see what that does.
