Hi guys

This is driving me mental. The car sounds like ****, not only when driving over bumbs, but any movement and it squeeks like mad.
Anyone who know what it can be? Hard to say from the video but you could try.

Probably not the sway bar. He's pushing down on the car. That's a pretty consistent noise for a vertical force. Also note the clicking sound. I'd say it's a ball joint in one of the control arms. Search the posts or youtube for lower control arm noise.

Haha lol you guys

We checked and the lower control arm looks to be the problem.
Anyone got experience with the aftermarket control arms on eBay?
A fraction Of the price but do we dare to use em?
If so, any tips on wich to get?
