Default Squeaky Front End
I have a problem that I wanted to see if anyone else had, and may have a fix for.... On my 2002 SC with 51K miles, the front end is squeaking. Any suggestions? BTW, shocks are good... Thanks for the info in advance.

I agree. Start looking at those control arm bushings where they tie into the frame.

Check your motor mounts, they have a tendency to sound like your shocks are rubbing on something when they are bad.
