Front end squeak????????

Before i take her to the stealer just wanted to ask you guys if you have had this issue...

When i push down on the front end the suspension i get a obnoxious "squeak" its also apparent when i drive at low speeds and i can hear it with the window down.

I lubricated every visual part of the suspension that i could reach and the issue did not go away...

lil help?

Ball Joint

My s55 was doing something similar and it turned out to be a ball joint. Best of luck.

My car is doing the same thing. I was told I need new control arm bushings and ball joints. In other words the entire front end needs to be replaced. From what i heard the parts are rather expensive.
