Squeaky McSqueakerson!!!

1997 CL 3.0 130k miles.
I dont remember hitting a hole or any rough roads lately. but today on my way to work, there was a nasty squeak coming from my passenger front wheel well area. I can almost replicate the same sound on my bed, i put my weight onto the hood right over the passenger wheel and gave it a shove or two. A definite squeakying noise.

Can anyone give me a could of culprits to this and maybe an idea of what to look for.

Thanks
Go Bears!!!

my car does the same thing...but only in the winter when its cold out...its a bushing...the trouble is finding out which one...have a friend rock it up and down and try to stick ur head under there (safely) and track it down...you could replace it or WD-40 it for a quick fix but it will come back if you just lube it

How many bushings are in that area?? and right now, instead of lubing it, I am turning up the radio.

There are numerous bushings in the front suspension, pull up a parts diagram off of acuraautomotiveparts.com and it should show all of the bushings
