Strange disappearing front end noise!

[NY65912]

Well. did a tranny lube change using Sepco 201.....more about that later. Took the 85 T look out for a test ride, everything is cool. Trans shifts nice, beautiful day, nice ride with my son. I pull into my driveway, get out and there's a squeaking coming from the drivers side front end. I have my son push down on the bumper and I go under for a look. I narrow it down to the ball joint, feeling with my hand for vibrations. Mind you I changed the shocks all around a few weeks ago but I can safely say they're good.

I get out the jack and jack the drivers side up and grab the wheel checking for play. It dosen't seem bad, but I decide that I'll to do ball joints anyway.....I figure it's time....67,000 mi.

So I drop the car down and the noise is gone.

Any thoughts???

Worn bushings can cause this and if they are original that would be my bet. They get deformed and will allow the torsion bar to rub inside the A arm causing them to squeek.
