Default Annoying squeeking from front of 08 Aspen

Anybody out there got an annoying squeekin from ur Aspen? I have been trying to track this down for a while with no luck. Ive tried spray lubricants at various points underneath. On ours, it has those two bars/rods that u can adjust for ride height/stiffness? It sounds like it might be towards the front of vehicle for them, i tried to grease em, i think it worked for just a short while? It squeeks over bumps, speedbumps, left/right of steering wheel...any ideas are appreciated...thanks.

On my 08 Aspen I had an annoying squeak everytime I turned the steering wheel more than a few degrees each way. In the footwell, near the pedals, where the steering shaft(?) meets the floor I sprayed some WD40 there and it solved the problem. I know your problem sounds a little different but just letting you know what I experienced with mine. If you want any more detail let me know and I will take a photo of the part i'm talking about when it's light tomorrow.

I know this is an old thread but did you find the source of the noise?

I too are late to reply but my 08 Aspen had a terrible squeeking issue up front, like an old squeaky bed, found that the front torsion or stabilizer bar bushing were the problem. Purchased a set of poly bushings, noise gone, simple install and cheap, under 20 bucks and 4 bolts and a little prying to remove old bushings.

Same with mines. First drive I heard a squeaking sound driving over dip. Had to take it to shop for wheel bearing and they replaced the stabilizer bushings and both end links and when I picked it up haven't heard a suspension noise since!

Not sure if you all have the OEM control arms
But my 08 has one original and one after market .in which the original has a grease fitting
I lubed it up .also did my alignment, as well as sway bar links
Got the squeaky away
It was more the upper control arm where it meets the top of the hub assembly and has that joint can post a picture tomorrow possibly, if any one still needs to reference
I'm new here this is my first post

So if I did it wrong I apologize ahead of time
