anyone ever heard of this.my 66 comet when you push down on the fenders my car would squeak.sounded like it was coming from the front inner fender area.it has done this for years,i thought it was the a frame bushings. heres the kicker,when i put my sub-frame connectors on the other day,it dont squeak any more. whats up with that?

Mine has the same squeak, i figured it was the insulators under the front springs or the gasket between the back of the fender and firewall.

UCA bushings,,,,now that the connecters are in place,they do not let body twist and body flex and they have changed for lack of better way to say it.the tension points pop

My 66 has the same squeak. I found it between the front bumper where it attaches to the car. Just needs tightened.
