2003 XLT 4x4
My Suspension has been squeaking over speed bumps and on bumpy roads. I was wondering if I can lubricate it some how to quiet it a little. I have a 2003 XLT with almost 140,000 miles on it.

Thanks

Sounds like front sway bar bushings. Just get some better new ones and be done with it. Lubing the bushings does not last long.
 






I second that!!!!
 






Yah spend the money and replace them. Lubing only works for a month or so.
 






first choice would the sway bar links and if you lube them and the noise goes away that was it, however, they Ball joints make the same type of noise too, also the bushings on the control arms.
 












Found I had a worn (metal to metal) right front body mount. That one was in-line with the passenger door forward hinge. Definately worn out & the "chirp" went away for a couple of months, now the left side is making the same sound. Never replace a body mount before, but at least I am sure ot was totally shot. Now on to the left side...
