front end noise fix-was not the rad bushings

I had noise coming from the front, did the rad bushing replacement:

Bushing were shot at 6,500 miles, but I was still getting noise at low speeds. Parking lots maneuvers, speed bumps, driveway entrance. Less squeak and more creak, odd as that may sound. Had a friend rock the suspension by pushing down and lifting up on driver and passenger rocker panels with the door open while I used a piece of garden hose as a stethoscope to isolate the location. Upper and lower spring perches. Applied Boeshield T-9 to them, using the straw to get as deep as possible. Now a week in and quiet. Will be interesting to see how the T-9 holds up.

 

A can of this, and half the noise complaints could be solved.... fixed my leaf springs.

 

I think the reason that I have NO squeaks or squeals, etc. is because I have Corrosion Free applied each year... It coats "everything" and draws itself into all crevices and forces out water....!! Penetrating Oil would work temporarily as well, I'm sure.
