Default Suspension Sqeak/Noise

Hi, I have a 99 Blazer here in the UK and the front offside makes a sqeaking noise most of the time. My garage tells me there is no wear on joints etc. Any ideas?

Thanks,Alex

I have a squeak in the rear suspension, and upon inspection I saw that the rubber bushings for the sway bar are rotten and cracked. I'll probably be buying a polyurethane bushing kit in the near future.

I'd suggest you start by greasing the front ball joints and anything else with a grease fitting, look at the sway bar links, etc.

could be the control arm bushings or the rear leaf spring bushings.

I thought it was my lower control arm bushings replaced them. Still did it, Thought it was my shocks because the rubber around the top that connects to the truck was worn but that still wasent it, It was the one ball joint that when I got the truck was sealed and wouldent let me grease it. That ball joing was so shot, dried and rusted inside, almost pops out of its joint it was horrible, I replaced it with moog and all good. Also replaced my sway bar links they were dry rotting.
