97 960 squeak...probably not what you think 900 1997

Allright here's the problem i'm trying to diagnose. I have squeaks coming from front when i push down on both fenders.

New in last 1-3000 miles. Control arms with new bushings, sway bar end links, sway bar bushings, struts with new bearings, ball joints. What in the world would cause this creaking i hear going over curbs, gentle bumps, leaning on car.

Engine mounts come into play here? I know they were replaced before 97K prev owner, car now has 160,000.

    How did the strut mounts look?

    Does it drive as well or better than it did before all the front end work? The reason I ask is because IIRC the top strut mounts can be installed one way or 180 degrees out if the installer is not paying attention to the angle. I might be wrong, it's been a while since I've changed these out. I will be doing similar front end work on the S90 this winter (struts, bearings, LCA's, ball joints, etc...)

      Had that happen on my 97 V90 a few years back. The mechanic tried to say it did not matter but I was able to change his mind. Then he broke an ABS sensor wire. Eventually got it all right but it never did squeak or mishandle as far as I could tell.
