I just had the spring/ shock combination, upper control arms and the link to the sway bar( I not sure if that's the correct term)? Anyway, when going over a speed bump or any kind of bump,dip or whatever I hear alot of squeaking noises coming from the front. Is this normal with new parts and is there a break in period? I think it becomes less noise when the temperature warms up ( or so it seems). This job was above my skill level so I paid to have it done, I'll be taking it back if this isn't common.
Thanks Chris

First thing to find out is if the bolts were tightened/torqued with the full weight of the vehicle on the ground.
Neutral position of the bushings is where they should be torqued.

Also - looks like you did not list lower control arm bushings. If all the above are new and torqued as @Gyro suggested, I’d be suspecting the lowers.

I live in Arizona, it's cool in the morning and warms up through the day. When I heard the noise the other day it 7am. Today at about 5 pm I thought I'd drive it one more time before I took it back. Well it was quiet, not a sound. I guess cold bushing need to limber up, just like old guys like me. Thanks for the responses Chris
