    What suspension?
    When does the noise happen?
    Km on car and has anything in the suspension been replaced?

    Front right suspension making squeaky noise??

    165kms. Front right,I can hear it on bumpy rd,or when I going in to my driveway. Bought yesterday strut tower bearing,to see weather that will fix it or not.

    Squeaky suspension is generally an issue with bushes (rubber or synthetic).

    The solution is to identify it and replace the offending bush(es). In the meanwhile, you can try some rubber grease to quieten it.

    Another thing that can cause a noise is the coil spring rotating on its end mounting.

    is it when your front suspension articulates like 1 wheel at a time up a curb etc?

    I had a chronic creak like a dirty old falcon makes and it was dry front sway bar D bushes.
    I got a pair of Super pro bushes through a friend who works at Pedders who ordered them direct from Bursons as strange as it is....
    for $22 for the pair.
    Just make sure you have the updated sway bar D bush clamps as they don't come with the revised clamp design (has a bump running around the middle, the early one has a flat clamp, (there is a how to thread on VWVortex about it

    Probably sway bar end links. Take them off spin 180degrees and put back on. You will have different rubber in contact position. If this fixes it think about new end links.

    Yep. Water is a great lubricant for rubber.

    This gives me an idea.

    When it dries off, go for a drive with a water spray bottle. When the noise returns, start by spraying each bush joint one at a time and driving When the noise stops, it was the one you last sprayed with water.
