Default 2001 Durango Squeaks

our 2001 Durango has started squeaking as the suspensions moves while driving. 121,000 miles. Is this shocks? struts? springs? all? can't isolate squeaks but seems to be front end. MOVED QUESTION TO SUBGROUP PER ADVICE FROM FORUM MODERATORS. THX.

I had squeaking up front, spraying some silicone lube in a can on the front suspension and stabilizer bar solved it.

99.99% that it is the swaybar bushings. Using silicone spray is very short term and I did that for a while but after a couple more years, the bushings pretty much dry rotted and nothing you put in there can stop the squeaking. Just replace the bushings and you are good to go.

PST makes a great set made of polygraphite. They will last longer than the vehicle:

I think Energy Suspension makes a Polly one but I went for OEM grade at NAPA.
