Default Alot of front and rear suspension squeeks?

I have an 06 Route 66 with alot of front and rear suspension squeeks. Car only has 20k miles. Could it be I need sway bar bushings? Anyone else ever have this problem?

The sway bar endlink bushings are crap and if bad will make your car squeak like it's 100 yrs old. Happened on my wife's '04. Poly bushings are much better than stock.

I had a problem with my 2006 making a lot of noise in the front end when I had about 20,000 miles on it. If you would go over a speed bump it would make a lot of noise. When I told my dealer he knew what it was right away, said it was the lower control arm bushings. They replaced them under warranty and have had no problems since then, I have about 30,000 miles on it now. I have never had any problem with noise from the back of it though. Good Luck

Does replacing the bushings require re-aligning the car? If not, I may get a set myself. If it does, mines under warrantee, and I'll just take it to the dealer.

No alignment needed on the sway bar bushings. Best thing you can do. Had mine done and everything is great. Use Energy Suspension parts.
