Default front end squeek when pushing down on hood

2003 T&C. So I have this squeaking kinda sound going on, kinda like an old metal bed frame squeaks when your doing the nasty on it lol . It happens when driving but also I can make it squeak when parked by pushing down on the front end bouncing it. I can't narrow it down, sounds like the struts but could it be some other bushing? Sway bar bushings were replaced last spring for the knocking didn't cure the squeaking. Any clue?

I'll go for sway bar Bushings/rubbers. Sounds like rubber on metal. Was going to say to squirt some lubricant on them but which to choose that won't deteriorate the rubber.
Heard of strut top mounts/bearings squeaking as well but only on turning.

Squirt some soapy water on the joints/bushing one at a time and see if the squeak goes away. Soapy water won't hurt anything.

Think the answer is Silicon spray. But saying that I don't think the rubber bushings for the anti-roll bar should act as a bearing or they would wear away quite rapidly. The bushings/rubbers are there to grip the bar and as the bar turns the rubber flexes.
That is why the rubbers should be fitted and secured with the wheels on the ground.
