Be more specific. Get out of the car and push down on each side to see where it's coming from. Top hats? Springs?? Shocks??

Are you on OEM Suspension, aftermarket? Lowered?

sorry for taking so long to respond. my computer is screwed up

Im pretty sure its coming from the front passenger side. Though Ive realized it does it alot but sometimes doesnt squeak. Im on oem struts but have tien S-techs on my car, the car also has 145k on it too

sorry for the vague op i was in the library and was running late to class

Ok i have a similar situation too. Squeaky noise from front everytime I go onto bumps also it feels as if something is loose. In queens its always giving a noise as there is nothing but bumps on the roads..

I have tried pressing on both passenger and driver side no noise. But the noise is very loud during driving. Squeaky noise also happens during stop and go motion.

I have recently had my caliper bushings replaced thought they must have gotten worn out and may be the cause of loose noise, but there is no reduction in noise. I need clarity as if they are really the struts..

BTW: I had my front struts replaced a year ago to KYB.

i have a creak/squeek coming from my front drivers side. I narrowed it down to the top hat somewhere. I'm going to dissassemble and check it out once it's warmer.

I'm experiencing the same problem (creak/squeak) on passenger side going over bumps. Goes away after driving a few minutes. Doesn't make the sound when I push down on the front end only when I drive the car. Is it the sway bar as been suggested or has anyone found a different solution?
