has any one had problem with bushing squeak, what shoud i do to quiet them

The first thing I would try would be to loosen your control arm pivot bolts, set the control arm at ride height, and then re-torque the bushings. If they are torqued while the control arm is a full droop, then they will bind as the suspension compresses to ride height causing them to wear out more quickly.

If this doesn' t help solve the problem and your bushings are in good shape, I' d next take a look at the ball joints.

If it is the polyurethane bushing I would use some a non-petroluem based lubricant like lithium or silicone.
