Default Squeaky suspension...

I use my 2001 TTQ 225 as a daily driver and the drive to work each morning has about 8 speed bumps on the road from my house. I've noticed that something creaks or squeaks pretty loudly as I go over them. I don't go over them fast or anything. In fact, the faster I go over them, the less I hear the sound.
I can best describe the sound by comparing it to the creaking door sound at the beginning of the song "Thriller". Maybe not a 2 second duration though. What would this be? I don't even know where to start. hmm

Swaybar bushings most likely.

The rears are easy, but the fronts are a Beeotch. You can get new poly bushings from TTStuff or ECSTuning. IIRC the front requires unbolting the cross member. The rears you simply have to drop the muffler and the heat shield then 4 bolts to remove the brackets and two nuts at each rear wheel on the links.

I was thinking of going with poly bushings all the way around and the DEFCON system from modshack. If I get DEFCON 1, do I still need all 14 bushingsfrom TTstuff? Additionally, I recently got the 21mm rear sway from tCarbon. I havent received it yet though. Hoping to get it here this week.
