I searched other forums and could not find an answer to the problem im having. Wondering if anybody can HELP ME!

I am having loud squeaking noise coming from the front of the car. Its defenetly coming from the suspension because when i go through holes or driveways or anything that makes the car sway or bounce it makes a squeaky noise like styrofoam.

You can actually hear outside of the car also pretty good. Its annoying and its starting to get embarrasing. PLease help. I appreciate any sugg.

thank You

Mine was doing this on the front right. I checked my lower ball joint and it had some play. Got it replaced and now I don't have any more squeak.

Was occasional at first, but then mine got so bad that it would do it over any slight bump and you could hear and feel it from the inside of the car.

Put your car up on jack stands, or a lift if your lucky and give the suspension a good shake-down.

EDIT: Spelling
 
I'm guessing struts because he said the ride is bouncy. But checking the balljoints is fairly easy, just do what diablos911 said, jack up and shake tire up and down at 12 and 6 o clock to rule out balljoints.
