I have developed a horrible squeek in the drivers side front suspension. It sounds like somebody jumping up and down on a trampoline (the squeek from the springs), that's the best way to describe it. I replaced the endlinks a few weeks ago with poly ones, but I greased the living hell outta them so I doubt it's that. I'm thinking it's the balljoints but I'm not 100% sure yet.

It only happens when going over bumps, it does not squeek when turning. If it's not the balljoints, I think maybe it's the control arm bushings?

:confused:
 






The balljoints will make an awefull noise when they start to go.
