Default Name That Squeak!

Please identify this mysterious noise and possible solutions.

Also, absent in the audio (and today apparently) is another noise that sounds like *CLACK* *CLACK* *CLACK* (U-joints?) that also coincides with rate of speed/wheel turning which can definitely be heard on a rainy day after the underbelly is all wet. This noise usually disappears after the car has been driven a significant distance.



Thanks in advance!

It sounds like control arm bushing. If it is you can make it stop temporary if you spray WD40 on bushings. It is probably bolt inside bushing inner sleeve. Just spray.
GM mechanic said PB blaster is the best. I bought a bottle from dealer.
Also spray shock bushing.

I just replaced ball joints on a dodge dakota that sounded just like that.
