Front driver Bushing issue

Has anyone had a problem with front bushings making noise? when its on comfort ride i had a **** load of squeeking noise from LEFT side.. I ride on sport mode now reduse the movement in the front wheels...i bought lube from auto store and redused it by alot but it comes back after a while..

Should i replace bushing? or get bushings lubed by machanic with real thick Grease?? known issue?

do you remember what they charged you?

So its the lowers that make the noise - did they replace them or just the bushings?

should i look on ebay for replacements oem is the best way to go.
