Question Squeaky sounds

My durango seems to make very loud Squeaky sounds. If I go over a bump it or anything like that it does it for what seems like a whole minute, but in reality its more like a few seconds. It is so loud it is embarrassing. I was thinking maybe it was the shocks needing to be replaced but I searched that online. Did the bumper test and it was fine. Could it still be the shocks are just needing to be replaced?
Possible helpful info it is a 2000 with 128,600 miles on it. I have only had it a short time and I am unsure of the history of the rig.

sway bar bushings are going, you can lubricate them with silicone spray or replace them with poly bushings

Mine does this too, but it stops in the rain, natural lubrication I suppose.


whats the best way to go about lubricating them? Do you just try to spray something into them or disassemble?

The sprays usually come with a nozzle attachment like a straw. Just get under there and stick the straw into if not as close to as the bushings and use short spurts to work around the bushing. I'm sure shrps has a few pics to show where thet are.
