- Turner thrust arms w/ monoball bushings

I am getting a squeak on the driver side when going over bumps at lower speeds (15-30 mph). I heard it in the front, but sometimes a little in the back. It sounds like a small squeak, not exactly a hiss. I rode in the passenger side to listen and didn't hear anything on that side. Checked the pinch bolts on struts and no difference between sides. Top plates are also lined up correctively. Have had the suspension for maybe 1-200 miles. FYI when I did suspension I did all the hardware too, like bushings.

it could the bushings binding, when you tightened your suspension arms did you have the proper load on them?

They do not have to be tightened under load. I called Turner and they checked in their spec book. Why would this only occur on the driver's side too?

Are you sure it isn't the rear hub lower bushing? Usually it starts squeaking when worn out.

Sounds like it's coming from the front left. Rear hubs were replaced a bit ago. Not when rolling, only when going over bumps.
