Calling Mr Schwing or any other of you mechanical gurus, a few months ago (been really hot here) my

suspension has started to squeak, front and back. Car is 6 years old fwd. If I go over a speed bump it is really bad. Am thinking the bushings are getting old and tired and in the heat they have softened, and with no rain for months to lubricate then a bit, they are dry and noisy. Is this probable?? Can they be lubricated or do I need to replace them.I cannot imagine all 4 shocks would be gone all at once. Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Correct. Sway bar bushings are a usual suspect.. You can lube them.

lubing them will not fix problem, if they are source of the noise.

when they're gone, they're gone.

I did, but thanks. Just don't have the new 'Sig' car - yet.

But I'll put something worthy in, at least for today...
