squeaky front end 700 1989

Hi everyone

I'm finding it difficult trying to pinpoint the squeak (sounds like an old door opening) when I go over a speed bump. Otherwise everything else is ok, no clunk and steering is good. I've recieved a couple of suggestions, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, strut mounts and worn inner tie rods. I've inspected the front end inlcuding the above mentioned and everything looks fine. Most of the front end are newish as in none are more than 4 years old.

I'm guessing I pretty much have to bite the bullet here, problem is which? What's the most highly probable cause of the squeak? I planned to do this on my own unless it involves removing the strut hence if possible it would be a huge relief if I get it right the first time!

Appreciate any advice. thanks

Aslan
