Squeak in front end

When I hit a dip in the road the front end squeaks. I removed the cap from the sway bar bushing. Then I slid the bushing over and put grease on the sway bay and then put the bushing back in place and the squeak is gone. A month later its back. I have done this twice now and its back again. The rubber bushings seem to be in great shape and i don't think replacing them would help. How can I get rid of this noise permanently? Thanks

Replace the rubber bushing with urethane ones. They will laat longer and will not squeak.

Where can I get the urethane bushings? Are they a ford part?

Look through some of the sponsors web sites. (you get a discount being a FTE member) or look into a suspension company for bushings. Most makers of lift kits also sell replacement bushings.
