Dry bushing sound

[cjorg]

01 LC it's not a squeak or a metal to metal sound, kinda sounds like a dry rubber to me. seems to be coming from the left front when we go over a speed bump I can really hear it. Anyone have any ideas were to look first?

looks like front shock absorber lower bushing gone bad, go under the car and have someone holding the bumper starts rocking the car, you can determine where the noise is coming. but I thing it is front shock absorber

Good tip thanks, I'll start there.

Lower ball joint. I would check it. Look for torn boot. They can get really noisy quick.

Looked at ball joints. All boots are good no cracking.

Shock bushings are good as well.

Look at the front sway bar link. Mine in the rear were making a noise until I sprayed them with silicon lubricant. I'm going to replace my front and rear bushings.

I'll give that a try.
