Bad bushings maybe?
Bad bushings maybe? So my car started making an annoying squeak noise. It only happens when I go over bumps and turn. In the my drive way I leaned on it pushing down on the front end and it does it, same squeak. Any thoughts?

Verdad Gallardo never thought about that. I'll have to do that this afternoon when I get home from work. So far I'm looking at different pricing for bushings for the front upper and lower control arms.
Well I checked the ball joints last nite and yes the rubber is torn and rotted on both sides from what I saw. Gonna take it to my friends shop this Sat, put it on the lift and bounce on it while Im under like 98PONTIAC said and see if there is any other issues.

You can't check ball joints by bouncing the car, or by rocking the wheel in and out at the top and bottom. You have to put a jack under the control arm to get the tire off the ground, and then put a crow bar under the tire and lift the tire up and down. If you can see movement between the ball joint shell and the ball, time for new ones. All the rubber on ball joints is for is a dust cover.
