Squeaky suspension

    I've noticed my car's been doing a lot of squeaking recently when going over speed ramps or bumpy roads. It sounds like it's coming from the front left, and seems to get worse if I've been driving a lot. It's a '98 Fiesta. Any ideas?

    When I got it serviced in January I was told there was something that probably needed to be replaced regarding the anti-roll bars - could it be whatever that is? I didn't have any money at the time so left it. Or could it be associated with the power steering fluid leaking all over the place? There's some seal broken behind the left wheel so I have to get the steering rack replaced, which I also can't afford to do (I should get a job :rolleyes: ).

    Could be dry bushings, try spraying wd40 in around the suspension bushings and mounts.

    Mechanic was on about bushings on the anti-rollbar, you should get them replaced (there only a few quid and are easy enough to do yourself), when these start to go you will find that the car will start to lean more into bends.
