Don't know what this is. It seems the passenger front side creaks on low frequency bumps. Is it a bent strut?

If it were a Focus, I'd say "that's normal", but since you don't drive one...

could be worn bushings?
a bent strut, you'll notice it b/c you'll have increased camber either + or -.

Well, I'm sure the alignments blown to hell, and the car wallows a little in the front also, so I figured I would just replace the whole set of struts. Just wondering if the one might be bent.
I don't think it's bushings. All the bushings are urethane.

with regular grease? synthetic grease? I had to use grease on my poly bushings... I was a little concerned. I heard that grease ruins poly bushings...DisrupTer911 said:
should I have used lithium grease instead?
But they really don't "squeak". I don't hear a thing over small, high frequency oscillations. It kinds of "groans" over slow, sweeping oscillations, such as cresting a hill quickly and settling down. And it appears to only be coming from the passenger side front. On top of all that, the car seems to oscillate too much given the stiff struts that are fitted.DisrupTer911 said:
I like that word... oscillate... :lol:
