Persistent squeeking from LR
Just started today. happens at all speeds and does not matter if the road is smooth or bumpy. also it squeeks with the brakes on or off and in gear or just coasting. I can hear it pretty loudly in the car with the windows and top up.
what do you guys think the problem is?? I'm thinking sway bar bushings need lubed or possibly shock related?? I have new shocks on the car.
I would really appreciate an expert opinion before I start working on it. Thanks!!!

could be wheel bearing or low brake pads. Jack up and shake wheel for play and inspect brake pads.

OK, bearing is good and I lubed up the sway bar bushings... no improvement.
I can stand on the door sill and push down and up and make it squeek. Its a high pitched squeek.
Gotta be the something going on with the shock??? right???

Elsewise you'll have to pull the shock to tighten the top mount.
