It is most likely the rubber bushings in the A frames. What happens is the 
bolts rust and freeze in the metal sleeve inside the rubber bushing. It is not 
considered dangerous at this early stage but the longer you leave it the more 
difficult it is to remove it. Not being the kind of person that leaves things 
until they fail completely I suggest you fix it soon. If left you could end up 
with a more expensive repair bill.
Hope this helps

Miss Molly has developed an rather loud and annoying squeak that appear
to be coming from the bushings on the right hand lower a-frame (wishbone)
- to - frame mounts.  It appears that it only happens when the suspension
is moving (it doesn't do it when moving down a level road).  Should I
become extremely concerned, or just slightly concerned?

Thanks!

Rich
