Squeaky, squeaky Venture

My 1998 Venture has started to squeak really bad. It comes from the front suspension. I think is is one or several of the rubber bushings because a few weeks ago I dribbled some oil into where the metal rubs the rubber and it went away for the most part. Now it's back with a vengeance. Is this something common with the Venture? I've replace sway bar bushings on previously owned cars but never any of the others.

On a 12 year old vehicle it's likely some bushings will need replacemnet if not the complete component.

It was the sway bar bushings (mainly the driver's side) where it mounts to the frame. $10. repair.

The top end of the bushings were worn completely through. I was metal on metal, the sway bar rubbing on the clamp. Now I don't have to turn up the radio to drown out the sqweaking.:lol:
