Hotch, my 85 GL has done the same thing since I bought it 100,000 miles back
. Hope to solve it by replacing all bushings up front in the near future.
That seems to be the source of the noise.

Subject: Squeaking Bushings

Hey all,

My 86 GL has squeaked since I bought it 30k ago.  My Mechanic believes the
bushings are the culprit but said they're dry.  So I crawled under, shook
the van, listened and found the uper control arm bushings to be the loudest.
 I took the arm off (pretty easy) and greased everything...still squeaks.

I remember a thread about this before but couldn't find it in the archives.

Anyone else squeaking?  Anyone fix it?  Do I have to replace bushings? etc.

TIA
