drive the car onto a large piece of timber or similar (say 100mm high and a 30cm wide) stick your head under the sill behind the wheel and/or from the front under the bash panel and have someone bounce on the car... or alternatively park with one wheel on a high gutter... which is probably the easier option...
Listen for the squeak to get an idea of the general area... I'd suggest grabbing the grease gun and greasing the balljoints and tie-rod ends, if you have PU suspension bushes, give them a good greasing and do a quick spanner check on all fasteners... |

put a little grease on the stub axle where it sits near the disc backing plate. they rub sometimes there as the arm moves up and down. Mine does. Thats with a totally rebuilt front end and greased up too.
