Squeaky springs?

Anyone had to change the springs on their Jeep cause of squeaking? Actually I'm not sure it's the spings. Does the front struts squeak? Should I just change the springs?

Are you sure it's the springs? Could be just about any bushing////my track bar bushing was squeaking yesterday. Get a helper and have them bounce the car up and down to recreate the squeak and stick your head under the truck to try to pin point it

Track bar is the bar that connects the axle on the pass side and to the unibody on the drive side, its got a bend in it. make sure the bolt on the axle side is snug.

Dude Skreed, you were right!

It wasn't the springs, it was um...not the track bar either, I really couldn't say what the part is called, but I dosed it with some lubricant and squeak went away.

Thanks!!!
