Default Funny sound up front?
I have a squeaking sound up front with rolling bumps. It sounds like bushings or like the springs are wearing out? We have had a lot of snow here and salt on the road. I don't know if that matters but it has recently became apparent and it is very annoying. Do you guys have any ideas?

Check your swaybar bushings. I'd start there.

Suggest silicone spray all rubber bushings. That should fix it.

If that doesn't work I'd look at the shocks.
