Default suspension squeek
does anyone have a remedy for an awful ticking squeek when the suspension travels up down.it sounds so dry.would it be a shock absorber/upper tower?

Front or back suspension?

Common sqeaks from dry stabilizer bar rubber bushing mounts and dried out / worn control arm joints. I'd try a lithium spray grease shot on stabilizer bar to chassis bushings first, then move on to other usual suspects.

I had the same problem, a little regular lube does the job nicely.

Most likely cause is the control arm bushings, I lubed mine and that settled things.

Are you performing grease injections into the boots?
