Front right suspension squeaks

I've a 96 4 Runner V6 with front and rear coil springs. I am hearing a squeak from the front right suspension when I drive. Does this mean the spring is finished? It doesn't look broken.

Thanks.

sounds like you might need a new wheel bearing.

Yes, if it's a "round & round" squeek... or is it an up & down squeek?

Need more info, when does it do it.. ???

also if its only occasionally that it squeaks (when you hit bumps), the front bumper bolts might need to be tightened along with the fender... Mine did the same thing until i realized it wanst suspension related at all.

really any thing that is a bushing or bushing like, and is probably stock or older than a few years will prolly need to be greased with bushing grease.

something i need to do one of these days, mine is so squeeky!
