A very common area for squeeks is the inner sway bar bushing. It is ez to reach.It is the block of rubber where the sway bar bolts to the frame. Squirt it with wd40, or silicone. or something. See if it gets quite. If not, go squirt the outter sway bar bushing where the end link is.It is a circular bushing. Upper control arm bushings may squeek,even when new.Mine squeek when the humidity is low.I squirt them with, silicone,then. Learning from mistakes, I may have damaged the new bushings(two years ago) by tack welding them with a gas welder.That creats too much heat for too long a time.Melted a bit of the plastic in the bushing.You can see it. An electric tack weld is short and sweet. It seems that the upper control arm bushings do go first, but they should last a long time.
