mine did that until I changed the front struts and springs. problem cured. i think they just get noisy as they age.

dry bushings? jack it up and spray everything w/ grease.. see how that works.

in the front end i would worry about a fire, also if you spray everything then it might attract dust and debris and cause premature wearing of the parts

???

i've sprayed mine w/ white lithium grease like 4-5 times now. they dry out, i respray, it stops squeeking. don't go nuts spraying around the engine.. but in/around the tire isn't going to explode into flame..
