Is it coming from the front or rear? I have squeaks from the rear on mine and did a search and someone mentioned busings in the rear lower control arm. Let us know more details though, like does it do it while turning wheels and standing still or only on bumps, or only at idle you hear it? Let us know so we can pin point it!

Squeak

Is it coming from the passenger side?? Mine was doing the same and it was only noticable at low speeds, driving around town and going over speed bumps. I used spray on grease on all the bushings and it helped, but eventually it came back. Mentioned it to my mechanic at the last service and he said it was coming from the self levelling airbag. He greased it and it has almost completly gone now.
