Noise made when going over bumps

Noticed that the X was making squicking noises when i go over a speed bump or imprefections in the road. I could hear it on the driver side for about a month and now the passanger side is making the same noise. I am thinking it is the bushings on the suspension. Can i just squirt some silicone grease on them, or how hard is it to install new bushings. Or if it is not the bushing then what could it be. Please help.

Could be a few things... Did you lube the bumpstops, t-bars, UCA's, LCA's, or leaf springs? Try any of those you skipped, and see how that works.

Don't put wd40 (or other petroleum lubes) on rubber parts, it eats/softens them.
Use silicon grease for those.
For the leaves, some people even use olive oil, etc, to stop squeeking...but almost anything that forms a protective film is good.

I've always used Ru-Glyde on all rubber parts. Get it in a parts store for $10-12 a gallon. You know, the lube they use to mount tires.

I've had a sqweeking (sp?)noise coming from the rear passenger side for a while now and not sure what its from, I'm beginning to lean toward the springs, I'll be getting some lube later for it.
