Squeaky Front End
There are a number of grease points on the steering an d suspension and these should be greased with a gun. I use an Air grease gun but a normal lever one will do.
The probable cause could be the bushes on the anti roll bar one at either end and 2 at the front end, one either side of centre. These two have probably dried out and surface rust on the bar may be causing the squeak by making the bar tight within the bush. I use a silicone based spray on these to lubricate them or red rubber grease is even better as it protects and feeds the rubber and lasts. If you have POLY BUSHES THEN THE SAME APPLIES. With use it will probably go on it's own.
