Intermittent squeaking over bumps

Does not seem to follow a pattern when it happens but is not all of the time.
I recently had a service and mentioned this but they said that there was no issue with suspension? Any ideas?

Hi,

Often times that will happen based on temperature. I'm not sure if noticed that as a common element when you hear it. However, almost always it is related to a sway bar bushing or control arm bushing.

This vehicle isn't offered in the US, so I don't have specific info on it. However, I attached a pic below from a different brand vehicle so you can see what I am referring to. I circled the sway bar and the smaller pic shows the bushing.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Joe
