Lots of unknown squeaking lately... suspension?
 
I've noticed a great increase in squeaks over the past month. It's usually constantly there going over 25mph.
Over any little bumps it might squeak.
Going around 40mph and over, it constantly squeaks... it's almost like the wheels turning is causing this sound. It doesn't really get any worse when turning, it's just consistently the same and always there.

I've known the tie-rods tp squeak on the stangs, but any other ideas or would this be the culprit? It's not really a heavy or loud squeak, but loud enough to be annoying.

So any thoughts?

brakes dragging, wheel bearings galled, uerthane bushings ungreased (HUGE cause of squeaking), pulley bearing, etc...

kinda should probably let us know where specifically it's coming from if you can determine that.

I'm almost positive it's not the brakes, those were replaced not to long ago.

Bushings sounds like it could be it. It really sounds like it's coming from all around the car, it's very difficult to tell.

If you put aftermarket control arms on, the poly bushings need to be greased periodically. However, it could also be the stock rubber bushings. Does it usually do it when there's a lot of suspension travel or very little?

It does it all the time over a certain speed. Big bumps or little bumps, the squeaks are the same and don't increase in sound.
