front suspension squeaking like a old bed

[Dansmith]

as the title says my car has started squeaking at any sort of pressure on the front of the car, I'm guessing bushes but anyone can take a guess at which ones? it doesn't seem to be steering related it makes no more or less noise when i turn the wheel.

Also anyone gone for power flow bushings? worth the extra?

I've just had a similar problem! Replaced top mounts as there was a lil play, noise continued! Found out it's my anti roll bar bushes.. Job done

The very same problem ive got, im gonna spray grease on them to see if it is them.

Take it you mean the "body to bar bushes" & not the "link bars" ? coopsS3.

It will be the Front ARB Bushes, when replacing them, make sure the plastic sleeve is in there, as i believe its not having this or it being split causes the noise.

Nothing major to worry about to be honest, but can get annoying....especially when you are trying to look cool!!!!
