Squeek in front suspension
I have this annoying squeek in the front of my Ex. It happens as the front right side moves up and down on bumps or as I press the brake to get the truck front to rebound up and down. It seems to be coming from the right spring where it bolts to the frame in the front. I have sprayed lubricant oils with no change. I had it to a shop and they said everything was tight. The bushing has no slop that I can tell. I jacked up the right side and squeeked more on downward motion than upward, but squeeked both ways Any suggestions would be great. JOHN

Argh...I hate squeaks too! 
You may have to replace the leaf spring bushings. Or remove them and grease them up. After awhile the rubber breaks down and no amount of squirting oil on the outside will help.
