A lot of Crown Vics get an intermittant squeak in the front end. What causes it and how do you fix it?

Dont buy a Ford,
Actually I have seen it in some of the 99-2002 PI's it has to do with the bushings in the front end, over time it gets sloppy

Actually, the squeak is called a "Motion Approachment Alert Device".

its not just in the crown vics either. ive heard other vehicles with it. I think i recall hearing a Expedition or Explorer with that same sound. Its rather annoying.

Yup. Had an Explorer that did it too, and it was the front end bushings.

Also check clearance and condition of hood spacer thingys...
I had the passenger side bust (brittle plastic)... Had spring sounding noises anytime I hit a speedbump, dip, etc... Replaced the broken plastic retainer and the noise went away

Grease the hood stops and the latch assembly, let us know if it goes away.

Hood stops... Thats the word I was looking for
Also make sure they're in proper adjustment, i.e. hood sits on them in a level manner...
