Default Front-end squeaks, anybody else?

Hi All,

I've posted this topic before. Does anybody else have front-end squeaks on uneven pavement? Any resolutions? I can't seem to trace exactly where it's coming from.

Just noticed them yesterday for the first time when I had to drive up a deeply rutted dirt road into a vineyard.

I searched high and low but could find nothing loose - let me know when you discover what it is.

I've got major squeaking in the front and rear suspension but I don't know what it is ...

Handling seems to be fine at this point.

My suspension has been squeaky for about a year now...with stock and aftermarket shocks. I used a little bit of WD40 and seems to have helped. I had all the shocks off the car and I could tell that the squeaking was coming from somehwere in the arms. So I squirted a little bit of WD40 in all the joints...

Traditionally, squeaky suspension is most often the ball joints (lowers) but I don't have first hand experience on the S2000.

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm bringing it into the shop for a service and to have those squeaks looked at. I'll let you all know what I find out.
