same problem here on a 2000
if i push down above the wheel well it does the same squeek i get going over bumps. Not sure what it is either, springs, bushings, or sway bar is my guess as well.

sway bar bushings are the most common problem, and they are the first thing to squeak in your suspension.
Do Not use any Petro grease. A silicone grease would work here.

I had a squeak in my rear suspension. After re-greasing the sway bar mid links, shock bushings, replacing shocks, it turned out to be a bad lower control arm bushing. Since the bushings are non-serviceable, I purchased one from Gene at Karshop.
