2002 WS6. Front bushings squeaking
Two days ago, I drove in the rain for the first time in about 6 months. Today I drive the car again and as I'm slowly driving through a rough shopping center parking lot, I notice the front bushings are squeaking .
I brought the car home and popped the hood. If I bounce the front of the car up and down, I can hear the bushings on both sides. Whats going on? These are stock, factory bushings (21K miles) and they've never made a sound before.

Anyway, I've got a full can of silicone spray in the garage so I'll hit the bushings with it when I change the oil.
Gotta love this weather since the rain stopped!

Just an update. I drove the car today and the bushings didn't make any noise. Thats good news but now I'm wondering if they'll squeak everytime they get wet .

Probably front swaybar bushings. Really easy and cheap to replace, you can just buy some new end links with bushings on them. (or you can use this as an excuse to buy a new front swaybar )
