Default squeaks from car when hot.

My car squeaks A LOT when it's hot outside. I'm thinking it may be the bushings. I want to lube these up to end the squeaks. Does anyone have any pics of where they are located? Also what should i use to grease them? Do i need to jack up the car for this?

You might get more responses if you gave more detail, such as where the squeaks are coming from, what model car, susp. upgrades if any etc. Also, what bushings are you referring to?? LCA's, Panhard, Sway Bars etc.??? Also, a search might give you a bunch of results.

I tried the search but didnt finmd anything useful. My car is a 2000 SS with stock suspension. The squeaks are coming from the bottom of the car such as when going over bumps or driving on ghetto roads.

How many miles on the car? Maybe shocks are getting worn out.

I have the same issues... 2000 TA vert. just rolled 30k. Stock suspension. Most of the time the exhaust and stereo drown it out. Ususally only hear it at parking lot speeds.

I think i found the noise . Its the motor mount or the frame rail mount . I don't know how to get to it without removing stuff. Anyone have any ideas.
