4th Generation squeaking Suspension

1999 XLE V6 front suspension is squeaking over speed bumps. I have changed the sway bar bushing both on the front and rear. What else do I need to check?
Thanks

Lubricate strut mount bearings. Take off strut shaft's center nut and spray liberal amount of oil and see if it goes away. If it does, strut mount/bearings need to be replaced.

Inspect Swaybar links (thin rod with ball ends) that look like a dog bone, they usually clunk.

Suspension arm has bushings, spray some oil on and see if the noise goes away, if it does, then you know where the squeak is from and chances are, it will require replacement.

if it is the bushings i would remove and coat the bushings with some grease. simply spraying it will just temporarily solve it since it'll just evaporate.
