Default Sqeaks like hell!

Does anybody know which bush it is specifically that wears on the front of the A4 B5 suspension?

I know it's a control arm bush but I'm not sure which one, my car now knocks over bumps and makes a REAL loud squeaking noise, its embarrassing as hell, please help!

You can inject grease into the bushing to figure out which one is squeeking. It's a semi temporary fix.

you cannot inject anything into the larger bushings on the lower control arms - but you can spray them with wd-40 just for a very temp fix. You can only inject the grease into the bushings with the rubber grommet surrounding them. Just basic grease will do - I went three months like that before it started squeaking again.
