The squeak is coming from the right front and seems to happen more when it's cold outside...since it's Jan not sure if it's related or not. I have new KYB struts and mounts installed about 3k miles ago. The noise almost sounds dry like it's metal on metal. Any suggestions or common areas that I should look into first?

Thanks!

If you figure it out let me know mine has been doing it for 2 years.

Try some aerosol graphite grease on the bushings. I've done this before and it works very well.

My car started doing it and it was driving me nuts! I thought it was something in the suspension but it turned out to be the hood latch. I shot a little silicone grease in the latch and it's gone. Never have I seen a car's hood latch squeak. Darn Nissans!

Does it squeak when you shut the door too?

stabilizer bar bushings. if not, strut mounts. KYB mounts are known for noise from day 1.

It turned out to be the POS KYB strut mount on the pass side. I had replaced it less than 3k miles ago. I'll never by kyb crap again!

WOW really? I'm finally gonna replace my Struts, mounts and shocks. Maybe my squeak will go away.

I changed control arms, struts, springs, spring seats, strut bearings, end links, swaybar bushings, pads and rotors, and the squeak has never changed. I didn't change all of that just trying to get rid of the squeak, just saying none of that stuff changed it a bit. I still think it's a motor or transmission mount.
