for the past couple months ive been hearing a squeaking noise from the drivers side wheel area. It happens when going over speed bumps and over some potholes. It doesnt make the noise on the potholes when its warmer out tho which i dont understand.

Yea, grease the two sway bar bushings that hold the bar to the frame with silicone or chassis grease if you can get it in there. Some people also take the brackets off and throw a zerk on it to grease with a gun.

Definitely sway-bar bushings. I take mine off periodically, clean and grease them. Use white lithium grease like the other guys said. Make sure your jeep is on level ground when you take them off. Don't jack up the front or anything, that puts tension on them. I park on level surface, and take one off, clean and grease it, then put it back on before I take off the other.
