I get a squeak from my right front constantly as I go over even minor bumps. All the front end components look fairly new. The strut bushings are in great shape and I have put new shocks on since buying it in 15.
I think it is the strut bushing but cant tell for sure.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Probably upper control arm bushings? Do they have grease fittings? Get your ear down there while someone else jostles the car up and down. That should confirm or exclude and hopefully help you find the squeek.

Also check the bottom fender bolt.

Great idea but not it.
I know because it was actually missing and just got replaced with the repaint. :grin:
