Squeak up front

I have a squeak that sounds like its coming from the right front. I only notice it when going slow over rough roads or bumps. Any ideas what it could be from? My Corvette is a 2000 c5.
Thank you

Probably a sway bar bushing, mine was doing the same thing. I have a complete set of red Energy Suspension bushings for the front and rear for $35 shipped if your interested.

Yes, sway bar bushing. This is a common problem. Easy swap and your noise will go away.

What do you recommend I lube them with? The person I purchased the car from had the stabilizer links/bushings replaced and also the front swayer links and sway bar bushings replaced already on 11/02/18. I don't know what else to do!!

I am very interested. Will they fit my 2000 c-5?

I had the same squeak and mine was the shock, especially when the car was hot and temps outside were hot too. A new set of B6 Bilstein's fixed my problem.
