Sounds like a rubber squeak. See you have Hotchkis sway bars. Where the bushing rides on the bar. Wrap that area with white teflon pipe tape. Then smear grease over

Rusty, thanks for the tip. My front Hotchkis bar has been squeaking from day one in certain situations. Tried re-greasing to no avail. Saw your trick, added the teflon tape and no more squeak at all.
Rusty, Hotrodz and Silly Rabbit like this.
