Marc,
     Dreaded is a bit of an overstatement.   I had
something like this on a 63 mercury meteor.   If you
spray your rubber joints with a silicone spray you
should be able to identify the offending area.   Then
perhaps you may be able to question if it is
dangerous.

Subject: Dreaded control arm bushing syndrome?

Hi all,

Now that the weather's warmed up considerably, I think
I have to rename
my van "Squeaky".  The passenger front side in
particular squeaks
whenever I go over the slightest little bump.  I
thought I remembered
others posting that their control arm bushing noises
were worse when it
was cold?  What is the general consensus on this (if
there is one)?
Does this sound like it is the control arm bushings?
If so, it doesn't
seem like an urgent thing . . . I'm having a hard time
envisioning just
what would happen if they failed completely . . . .
Is it something
that can wait a while to be fixed?

Just when I'm starting to get one thing fixed, another
rears its ugly
head . . .

Thanks,
Marc Perdue
'87 Westy, "Squeaky", 140K miles and counting . . .
