Robert,

Likely the upper control arm bushings... soak it with silicon spray, and you
can tell if that is the problem, by having someone crawl under it, and rock
the van by putting your weight by the side of the seat at the door opening.

If the bushings are bad, they are not that hard to replace.

Subject: Hello vanagon family

   Hello
   My name is Robert and I own a seven passenger 1980 Vanagon GL.
I have brought her back from the dead and she drives like no other out
there,
it`s wired in a good way.
 I have a question? when she hits a bump or bounce on the road she makes
a rubber like squeaky noise coming from the front end. is this a normal
sound for
her or is there something I can do to silence her front end.

 She will appreciate any recommendations or suggestions.
          Thanks in advance
                       Robert
