I'll bet they're beyond spraying. Get under there and check them out.
They're probably brittle, cracking, and/or crumbling. You're talking seven
years old. If you're going to keep this truck, get some polyurethane ones.
Others on the list have done this and know more than me but this is a start.

Subject: DML: Squeaking Dakota

On my way home form work the other night i noticed the front right side of
the truck squeaked when i hit a bump or braked....(enuff to make the front
of truck move),,,,well the next day it was about noon and a 100 degress and
i heard no squeaking. then the other night both side are squeakng.....it
sounds like it's coming from the bushings b/c when i had my friend press up
and down on the truck thats where i think it comes from.......its a 94 with
about 122000+miles and the bushings are still stock......i'm wanting to
replace them so is this my chance.....or should i just spray sum WD-40 and
go a little longer?

Thanks,
