: Noise coming from front of 1985 Vette?

I've got this annoying sound coming from the front end of my 1985 Vette, it happens when I hit any sort of bump or I go over speed bumps.

A friend was saying its the bushings that need to be replaced or shocks? Anyone have similar problems that found the cause?

Thanks

Yup, my shocks are also shot. Then front end bounces and goes squeek squak everytime i go over a dip in the road or a speedbump.

Mine only makes the noise on bumps when it's cold. After a couple of miles, it stops. Shocks seem to be good. Haven't checked bushings, but have only 42000 miles!

I think this weekend I'm going to jack this thing up and take a peek, mine doesn't stop making the noise regardless, everytime I hit a bump off they go!

The bushings are straight forward replacement right? I believe the shocks are also?
