So my suspension creaks and squeaks over bumps and its getting on my nerves. Plus its damn annoying. It doesn't pop or make any noise that makes me think the bushings are completely gone. Can I just lube things up with some sort of spray lube? I will be replacing all of the rear suspension bushings as I do the normal suspension parts so I am mostly concerned about the front suspension.

With the way it makes noise, you can't really pinpoint where its coming from either. Just sounds like its spread pretty evenly across all the bushings.

Do you have any poly bushings currently? If so, I would look at those first for lubricant.

As far as I know they are all stock. The parts they are in are the stock pieces so I doubt anything was installed. I know the rear LCAs are rubber for sure.

There's all sorts of spray lube you can use. Preferably graphite based if possible, but lithium based will work as well. Sounds like typical dry bushings. Even the rubber ones dry out and get creaky. Start with the low hanging fruit like the LCAs front and rear. Then work your way around to all the other rubber bits. Good luck.

That's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I just wanted to make sure whatever I used wouldn't cause further damage to the bushings.

My suspension creaked as well, so I got fed up and literally replaced everything. lol. The only stock part left is the panhard bar only because I am going to buy a watts link.

I put koni/strano/gw upper arms/1le bushings in stock rlca/new bushings/ball joints in flca's and strano sways.

No more creaks. LOL

Super Lube Synthetic Grease. Couldn't narrow down my creaks aside from that it was coming from passenger rear. No spray lubes worked for me so I got some Super Lube and took the LCAs and rear sway bar off. Lubricated the lca bushings, swaybar D bushings, and the end links. No more noise. It will keep them quiet until you upgrade, which is inevitable lol.

Edit: I didn't read closely and saw you were talking about front suspension. Noooot quite as easily accessed... Nonetheless, the grease I mentioned is great stuff for squeaks and groans.

I think it's probably your springs. I changed mine with the shocks recently and haven't noticed any creaks. I know what you mean about the noise being irritating too hated it with a passion

On my car, its the poly control arm bushings that make noise.
