My '88 944 lux has an issue with the right front suspension. It makes a squeaking noise when I go over bumps or excelerate. It is pretty tight in there as you guys know so I can't get a good look to see were the noise is coming from. I can also just push down on the quarter panel and it will make the noise.
My normal mechanics have been too busy with racing to get it up on the rack and a friend who is not a Porsche mechanic said it could be many things.
The car has just under 90k miles on it and has been well cared for. I did beat on it this winter when I put on a new set of Blizzaks. I handled incredible in the snow with those tires. I was probably the only guy with a sports car who loved it when it snowed.
Thanks ahead for any helpful info. Cheers!

If all is "tight" then how new are the struts?
You may want to jack up the front and do a good visual inspection of all the rubber bushings. Especially the front sway bar mounts. If oil is spilled on the mount from a filter change it'll expand the bushing below and may be causing the squeaking.
