Default Sierra Front off Side squeak

Sierra 1990 Saphire 1.8 LX. Front off side squeaking when suspension
pressed down about 3 inches. Moved steering to full lock both ways and
still the same. Can be heard going over speed bumps or uneven roads
but not all the time. Any ideas?

anti roll bar bushes used to be a common fault on those, spray them with
wd40 and see if it stops for a while

I did spray a bit over them earlier, but done it more just now. Still
squeaking. Long journey late tonight.

if the bottom ball joint gets rusty and stiff it can squeak, difficult to
isolate though without a clip on microphone.
