bad squeaking front end 03 cls

There is major squeaking from the front end in the wheel well area. Sounds kind of like styrofoam rubbing together. Most noticible when going over bumps in the road, also by pushing down on the front end it squeaks. Was thinking bushings might be hardened........not sure though. Any idea what the problem is?

It could be:
your front struts,
sway bar end links,
and/or sway bar bushings.

What is the milage on the car? If close to or over 100K, all of the above may need attention.

OP, did you ever get this resolved? I'm hearing the SAME thing on my '01 CL-S with 125k miles..
