Default Squeaky noise!

Hey guys sorry for my ignorance in advance. I have a 94 sc400 and noticed my front end squeaks every time I go through a speed bump. (My shocks and struts seem pretty stiff) please guys help me out I can't stand this noise!

Your front end rubber components are getting dry and tacky.

Should I replace all my bushings? And should I buy stock ones? Thanks!

There are many bushings on the front of the car...it would take quite a bit of $$ and time to replace them. A temporary fix would be to spray some silicone in there but it wouldn't take too long for it to dry out again.

In answer to your question, no, you probably don't want to replace all of your bushings unless squeaky noises annoy you to no end. A popular noise area for the front end is the bushing that is located at the bottom of the strut.

could this be where the squeak is coming from when I brake? It is a squeak squawk like sliding back and forth back and forth when braking <5mph in a parking lot. Is this a bushing? slider of some sort? less of a squeak and more of a creak maybe..

Squeaking when you brake could definitely be bad bushings, check your subframe bolts also... they like to come loose over time
