At first i was thinking shocks but if i get out and jump on the front end theres no squeak, if i sit in the car and drive over a speed bump or just turn the tires back and forth it squeaks. ( no its not my belts or ball joints i replaced them) so im thinking control arm bushings. i have not checked to see if they are grease- able, but i dont think they are. my question to you is how tough of a job am i looking at replacing the control arm bushings, because i am hearing mixed answers. I have replaced the lower ball joints and that was a task so am i looking at an equally hard job or harder? will i need special tools like the ball joint press or something else?

Situation: after start of the engine and 6-7 minutes of driving my coolant indicator will go from C (cold) to H (hot) and then my engine heat light will come on. (The one that looks like thermometer with waves at the botton). I checked the coolant level in little tank it should be in and it looks fine. Actually even too full probably but i dont really think that's what making light go on.
Unfortunately, this car was made that you cannot access radiator unless you take front bumper off so I cant check the level of coolant in radiator.

Also, after shutting my car down after a drive I would look underneath and it doesnt look like fluid is leaking out..

So what is causing this?

Ive had my car to 3 mechanics. First my car started not turning over every once in a while (noticed it was more in the rain or humidity) so i brought it to a shop they said it was spark plugs and wires so they replaced them, 3 months later happening again but wayyy worse. The car would not start, it would start and then i would go to drive it and the moment i went to switch gears (standard) it would just die, except all the electricity would turn off soo I brought it back to that shop. They had 10 techs there and not one could figure it out, they had my car for 2 weeks and didnt charge me anything cause they just couldnt get it. So shortly after my car would do the same thing but then I would go to drive it some days and it would start fine then Id get on the road and the moment i went into 2nd gear the car would start chugging and completely loose power no matter how hard i pressed on the gas, I would pull over and press the gas for about 5 minutes and all of a sudden itd be fine. So I brought it to another shop, still they couldnt figure it out. Also throughout this whole time every once in a while the check engine light will come on the turns off a couple days later..The newest thing its been doing is when its first turned on and in idle the whole car starts shaking and the engine is clicking loud and chugging like its going to die then it makes a loud clicking noise and starts back up again... please please help. It has about 72000 miles on it. So far the only thing thats been done by shops is new spark plugs and wires and a computer update because no one knew what else it could be. I still owe money on this damn car and its a huge problem that it doesnt even work half the time I have it...

It has a 3.0 liter engine. before I bought the van the previous owner took it to a shop and had a radiator and water pump replaced. everything seemed fine, but I noticed after a few days of driving, the oil level rises daily and small oil leak where the water pump is. Is it possible that the coolant is mixing with oil because the water pump was not replaced properly? The car runs great and has no signs or symptoms of blown head gasket or crack block.
