Annoying squeak from front suspension

I've got a really annoying squeak from the front suspension whenever I go over a bump. It seems to be coming from under the floor between the front seats. Anyone know which bushes these are likely to be & are they simple to replace?

Most probably your upper wishbone bushes.No 4 on this pic.Best get both sides done.And you will need the camber resetting once you do them

Cheers guys, I'll get it over the pit and get someone to jump up and down in it to make sure it's them bushes. Then I'll change them next week when I'm going to lower it. Then I can get camber and tracking done at the garage. Looks like I'm for a busy week, I reakon I'll get it done in a couple of days so will take 4 off work!!!! Working on the principle I've found that every job takes twice as long as you think & costs twice as much!!!!

Just so you know.Those bushes are held in with a blob of weld.So you will need to grind it off.And stick a blob on the new ones.You can belt the old ones out with a FBH.But you will ideally need a press.To get the new ones in...

Mine only squeaks if I hit a noticeable speed hump then stops shortly afterwards. That said, I'm getting tyre wear on the outside of that wheel, so guess I'll have to investigate over the summer.
