Per the below. I may be proved wrong, but I doubt that the bushing vanished entirely, leaving metal-on-metal. Why do aI say that? Because you'd have tremendous play. dangerous, "car swerves all over by itself" play. Yea, maybe it was wearing and gettin gloose. Or hardening (and thus shrinking). But that's not vanishing.

there are alos LOTS of places a squeak can start. Tie rod ends. Sway bar bushings. Shock tubes. Spring perches.

You really need to check 'em all.

Unfortunately.
