Default Squeaky suspension
My C5 has 117k miles. Drives great, tracks strait, but has developed a squeaking noise when going up my driveway or going over bumpy roads. Any idea what parts might be doing that? Anyone else experienced that on a higher mile C5? What would the cost be to fix?

Sway bar bushings are a common source of squeaking. I think they're something like $20 a pair.

There are about 10,000 threads about this squeaking, they include many possible temporary and more permanent solutions.

PS.

I can't believe you made it to 117K before this problem started.
