Default Squeaks , Squeaks

The front end of my car Squeaks like crazy when the car gets hot ,or it's hot outside. The squeak is on the p side more on the spring. Does anyone have the same problem? Any lube that will stop it? I’ve tried the A C Delco white stuff (doesn't work) I've tried some clear stuff (doesn't work). The squeaks are like rubber rubbing metal.

Where are you putting this grease? Are you sure that's where the problem is? Is it a constant squeak or only when the car is moving?

I put the lube around the spring, the constant squeak is when the car is moving

i made a post like this a few days ago, no hits on mine,,but sounds like the same deal,,,mine only does it after i run the air with the car sitting for a bit,,,,did this to me last year, greased up my sway bar ends and it stopped doing it,,(((or the temps around here dropped))),,,but its back again. If i am sitting, not moving or driving, and running the air fora bit,,,,once i take off, i have grinding noises from both sides of the front. Do i need to grease my sway bar yearly? I have not done it this year yet to see if it resolves my issues. Good luck with yours!!
