squeak from front left suspension
I have a team of mice living in my front suspension - squeak squeak sqeak. Anyone have any thoughts as to what causing it?

I get squeaks as well, for me its from the Tarret inner LCA monoballs. Did all my bushings last Spring. They're starting to wear in and get happy now, and the squeaks are starting to go away.

against my better judgement i put a drop of oil on the swaybar bushing and no luck. all the rubber suspension bushings look good.
the sound is more like a chirp when going slow sharp bumps. no chirping when coming out of the driveway or swerving left to right. i can duplicate the chirp somewhat by jabbing the brakes. i am wondering if it the shock/strut.

Sway bar drop links...just replaced mine and the noise went away. Slow, garage-speed bumps and ramps would cause a metallic squeaking noise from the front suspension. One of the ball joints is probably bad and making noise...

Depending on how low you have your suspension set, it could be as simple as sway bars rubbing against the plastic cover. I had the same issue and just had to trim back the plastic a bit. No more mice.

which plastic are talking about, the brake cooling ducts on the control arm? i don't there is an interference there but will double check.

i am hearing more of a chirp similar to stopping on a painted line at a stop sign. i will try disconnection the sway bar for a test. thanks.

I installed GT2 Club Sport cooling ducts and it was rubbing since then. I trimmed back a little bit of the plastic and that noise went away.
