OK, I have a lot of squeaks coming from both the front and rear suspension when I go over large bumps (like speed bumps). I was told that this was fairly common and that if I greased the suspension it would help significantly.

What should I grease in the front and rear and how do I do it?..eg just use the hose on a grease gun and try to squirt it in or do I need to disconnect anything then grease and put it back together?

i had a very annoying squeak over speed bumps. start off by spraying water on suspension parts individually see if the sound goes away. mine turned out to be the rear swaybar bushings

Ok, so far Ive been told to do the rear sway bar and LCA...is there a technique to doing these or is it squirt grease in them while its on a lift...or do I have to take these pieces off the car or loosen the joints before greasing?

i removed the sway bar bushings and greased them with valvoline semi sythetic grease

What all is involved in taking the bushing loose....Ive never done it. Do you just unbolt it, or do you have to jack up the differential to take pressure off?
Same question about the LCAs

Ok thanks...Im guessing the same for the LCAs?

You guys were right...just unbolted, cleaned, and greased them = no more embarrassing speed bumps...now if I could only get that piece of my cat that is stuck in my muffler out...

Anyways thanks so much for the help. The car doesn't sound like a thirty year old bed being jumped on by fat kids any more. I appreciate the help!
