Default Squeaking noise driving me crazy

I have a 1999 Camaro and I have the Bilstein Shocks with SLP Valving, Eibach Springs and 1LE front sway bar with Polyurethane bushings. Every time I go over a speed bump, I consistently hear squeaking FROM THE FRONT and it's not only when the car is cold either. I tried getting under there to grease some things up to find that there are no nipples anywhere.

How do I get rid of this squeaking problem. The car was 71,XXX miles on it, and babied 95% of the time.

Get rid of the squeak, huh?? Are F-body owners even allowed to do something like that? I thought all possible rattles and squeaks were required for f-bod ownership?

Seriously though, you will probably have to buy a new car to satisfy your squeak tolerance.
Mine does it too, but it is off and on...actually, now that I think about it, I haven't heard it in at least a month...

I hate it though. Could it be the springs or struts??

The end link bushings were squeaking on my car. Also check the tie rod ends.

My car squeaks worse in the rear when it is cold. It does squeak when it is warm but not as much. I have done nothing to my suspension and it only has 19,5xx miles.

I put PSTpoly-graphite bushing in my truck when I lifted it and they squeak. I have just gotten used to them . I have pulled them apart several times and used several diff types of lube to find no fix. Good luck on yours.
