Front "spring" sound when going over small bumps

I just noticed this yesterday driving on a road I usually don't drive on. The road had small bumps, more like really small patches to make the surface uneven. My front end would make small "bed spring" type sounds when driving over them at around 35mph. Should I get my swaybar bushings greased and my endlinks checked?

If you still have stock end links and bushings I recommend getting some Energy suspension Poly Bushings. They are so much better than The stock Hard PLastic ones. AutoZone Carries them for about $20-28 for the bushings and end links.

I had them replaced with the poly ones last year.

The "squeeking" noises can very well be as a result of dry bushings. Grease them up and see if the problem persists.

I had the same noise coming from my factory rear sway bar bushing and needed to regrease them 2-3 times a year.This year i put on poly ones on and so far no problems/or squeeks.
