Default Front squeak over bumps.

Would anyone know what else could cause what sounds like squeaky front sway bar bushings? I know it's not my bushings because I just greased them like 3 weeks ago, and my end links are still kind of new. I have about 76,000 on the car. Is there anything else that can mimick this by chance?

Check your upper control bushings. Sometimes over the years the bolts come loose. Spray some silicone grease on them. Then go over a bump again to see if the squeak is still there. Check how tight the control bolts are first. At 70k mine were pretty loose.

why did you have to grease certain bushings? I would check them again along with other pieces you may have loosened. from factory nothing squeaks until you loosen them for some reason.
of course climate contributes as well, and driving style.

Because they're not factory. I believe they're moog though if I can remember. I never buy cheap parts so... Plus they were squeaking a few months ago so I regreased them.

Adding to this again. My squeaking returned after a few months of upper control arm install. I found driver side front wheel arm. Facing the wheel the left bolt to the body had loosened up again. Tightened it up again and the squeak is gone for now. Also checked the passanger's just to be safe all was good on that side. Remember to tighten everything down while the suspension is loaded.
