Balljoints squeak when they dry out, and bushes can squeak when perished. Most likely mounting bushes on the front struts near the bottom or the wishbone bushes and balljoints.

A tyre depot should be able to track the culprit down using a bar for leverage with the car on a lift ramp.

I HAVE a Toyota HILUX 2KD WHEN DRIVING ON POTHOLES OR CORNERS HAVE SQUEaLing NOISE FROM the FRONT SUSPENSION.

Question edited for clarity and spelling.
Question moved to model category.
Please don't type in all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read.

A 'squeal' or a 'squeak'? Squeals are normally serpentine belt related, but suspension squeaks are a known issue.

Grease fittings on 03 infinity G35

I would doubt that there are any grease points on your car. Most modern cars have done away with them. Squeaking can come from suspension rubbers, balls joints, springs etc. You may need a mechanic to check the front end.

FRONT END SUSPENSION Squeak

It is hard to tell with out more detail as to what makes it squeak. Does it squeak when you hit a bump, or while the vehicle is in motion? To test your struts simply push down on each front corner (above or next to headlight)as to rock the vehicle up and down. Pick a solid part as to not dent it. This is a good way to test your struts. If it goes up in a stiff motion(not rocking) its probably good. If it goes up and down easily and has a lot of play then your struts might need changes. The squeak could also be sway bar bushings as well. If it only squeaks when your in motion it could be your cv axle. If you are still in need please post more detail as to better diagnose the issue.

Have a 1997 Mountaineer a the front makes this loud squeaking sound when turning/running over speed bumps or any time front suspension is working

It can be bushings in the front sway rods or the control arms. The tie-rod ends or even ball-joint sockets can make noise if they are dry.

Have a 05 sebring sedan. front end squeaks in the suspension when it gets warm. have replaced everything in the the last year. what else could it be.

Usually squeaks are rubber bushings that need liquid soap lubrication. The anti-roll bar bushings and end links are common sources. So is the lower arm bushings that work with the strut assembly. Suggest getting under the car while someone pushes down on the front end to get it squeaking. Good luck!

Severe squeaking noise coming from the undercarraige....shocks? bushings?

Both the shocks and bushings can cause the squeaking noise. It is very common in those vehicles, and the best bet for figuring out which one is this: put some brake fluid in a squirt bottle, and put a small amount(don't get overzealous with it, as it will remove paint) on all the rubber bushings, and drive it around a little to get it worked into the joints. Brake fluid is designed to work as a lubricant in brakes without degrading the rubber parts, so it is excellent in lubricating the rubber suspension parts. If your squeaking remains, then it is probably the shock. This diagnosis, of course depends on if the squeak is that really obnoxious rubber squeak noise that comes when you push down on the front end and make the suspension travel. If the squeak is the high-pitched one that is constant when driving, and doesn't change except with speed, then it is your brakes telling you that they need new pads.

Front Noise!

I have a 2000 Honda Prelude SH with about 110k on it. I have been having all sorts of squeaks from the suspension over the past 1 or 2 years. It was the front ball joints that were found to be causing the noise. I also had an upper control arm and a tie rod end that was squeaking. The reason for the squeak is the sealed design of the ball joints and the fact that they cannot be lubed, and eventually just wear out. I could get it to make the noise by pushing the car up and down at the affected corner. I've been disappointed in the way the suspension on this Prelude hasn't really held up well. I've never had so many suspension components wear out on any of my cars before. But, your issue definitely sounds like ball joints to me. Those are the same symptoms I was having.
