Default Squeaking Over Bumps?

Took the Z to the library before football started and noticed there was some squeaking in the suspension over rough pavement. Any ideas before I go chasing it down?

Also need new tires...been putting it off. Still plenty of tread, but they can't handle the power at all. It's like being on ice when hard on the throttle...hehe!

Looks like Spring will bring some Nittos...

Most likely the top shock bushing or the sway bar bushing are the source. both areas are accessable if you have the time and tools, "not rocket science" just time consuming to loosen, grease and retrighten.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check both spots tomorrow...hopefully it won't be TOO cold in the garage/driveway.
