My 88 LXI has an eternal squeak and i cant seem to isolate it to the front or rear. it makes the sound when i put my foot on the break and also when i take it off. it is a quick squeak and will also happen when i go over bumps. also when i go to stop the car the breaks shimmy a lot. is this because of warped rotors? the pads have plenty of life on them.

thanks

you can sort of isolate squeaky bushes by pushing on one corner of the car at a time and listening for the squeak.
the front uca bushes are the easiest to replace along with the sway bar bushes.
