Default 2001 Soundango with Suspension Noise

Please anyone else with the same problem. Since purchacing our durango in 2002 we have had a squeking coming from somewhere in the front suspension whenever the tires turn left or right, forward or reverse? Doesn't sound like metal and the sound increases with speed. It's almost a rubber to rubber sound...had this problem for four years and noone can figure it out?

Any ideas?

Thanks

It's probably your bushings. I'd say search the net for polyurethane bushings (they will not dry out like the stock one's) to replace the old one's and put them on. Voila! I have this problem anytime I hit bumps, accelerate, and decelerate I just haven't gotten around to changing them...

Yep, the front sways do more than sway. Sqeeking is almost default on the D. Replacement or a grueling lube should fix it. Instead of a bushing, since you are in there, I'd replace the sway with this http://www.hotchkis.net/ You wont be sorry.
