It would be well and good to replace worn bushings but by some accounts, new
bushings squeak just the same. Perhaps the geometry involved puts stresses
on teh bushings that naturally make it squeak?

I'd have to agree with Steven on this one! Just
spraying the front-end parts and merrily driving
along, ignoring the noise, can lead to an exhilirating
experience - - imagine motoring along, hitting a bump
in the road (in this case, a cattle guard) - - there's
a couple moments of ominous silence, then your whole
car begins a slow dip to the left front, and now
you're on three wheels and hoping the brakes are going
to operate in a controlled manner before something
worse happens! D'oh!    :^0
