Default Suspension noise?

I have a 2000 Durango 4.7 4wd 112,000 miles I have been driving this truck for around 6 to 7 years with no major problems. Overall it has been a very good truck. The problem I am having is a very loud squeal from somewhere under the truck. It happens when you apply the brakes and come to a stop and the body shifts. If you press down on the front bumper and rock the truck you can hear it very clearly. I am thinking it is the bushings on the front sway bar, I just wanted to get another opinion before I went into to this any further. Thanks

I assume if they are stock it wouldn't hurt to change then anyways. Look at your ball joints and where the knuckle bolts on. Those are pivot points as well. Id have someone push on the bumper while i layed under it and listened for the noise

Thanks for the input, I think I will start with sway bar bushings and go from there. Again thanks for the input.
