Squeaking noise on bumps?

Lately when I'm driving at any speed, once I go over a bump I get this squeaking noise. It seems to be coming from the front wheels. I have all stock struts and springs so its not something that has been installed recently. Can anyone give me some info. and if it can be something serious?
Thanks Bill...

I have the same problem, especially when I first start driving the car after it's been sitting in the driveway over night. I just noticed it not too long ago. Could be the colder weather.

It could be the weather. But when it was warmer out I began hearing some what of the beginning of the problem. It kind of sounds like birds chirping.

Try spraying a little WD40 on the front link suspention. Sometimes after you drive in the rain the moving parts in suspention tend to rust a little and that could cause the problem. If it doesn't work use break cleaner to dissolve WD40. Hope the squeak squeak on bumps goes away!

How many miles on your car?

Might be a sign that your stock struts are going bad. See if there's any oil leaking out from either one.

could it be his dust boots finally ripped open and any conceiled noise is now (so to say) out in the open? if you're on original stuff, could mean your suspension needs to be replaced like they said...
