Also takes a while to swap them out because you have to move a few nuts and boltstp get in there.
Might could spray some wd40 with a straw in there and diagnose an issue.

Mine was squeaking were the bolt goes through the upper bushings. Could never see that was a problem because it's conciled in the control arm.

That car also made a clonk more than a sqweak. Maybe your problem too, maybe not.

Mine the bolt was just some rust on the surface but the rubber and metal of the bushing was pretty well disintegrated.

I assume you can make it squeek by bouncing on it? Support LCA and see if it still squeeks (takes balljoint out of equation). I assume you have verified its not the LCA strut support bearing on firewall (sound would be on firewall not front part).

x2. when is it happening?
I had the bed spring squeak every time I turned the wheel or went over a bump. Turned out to be a dry lower ball joint that was still tight, so I pushed axle grease up under the boot and it took care of it until I sold the car 30,000 miles later.

Yeah i can make it squeak by bouncing on the passenger side up and down. it seems to be near the LCA, so is it a good possibility that it could use a new set of rubber bushings? 208,xxx... and i dont think much of anything has been replaced. (besides regular maintenence)

When I put the UCA bushings in they needed to be ground down about 1mm or so. Just a heads up. I tried to fight them in place for about 30 min before coming to that conclusion but, ymmv.

I agree with the control arm bushings diagnosis. I really thought it was a squeaky shock too. About month ago I replaced the control arm and the old bushings just fell apart. Squeak for me no longer.
