Greasing the chassis? Creaking issue
2001 Camaro SS with 75,000 on it (1,000 are mine). I noticed while in stop and go traffic today that the chassis was creaking like crazy. Any bump, stopping, accelerating (in 10mph traffic for hours), and the chassis would creaaaakkkk.
Are there grease points under there? Or is it a sign that the bushings need replacing? Or am I completely off?
Thanks!

Every moving rubber bit will groan if it gets dry.
LCA, Panhard, sway bar bushings and endlinks all
want some occasional greasy love. I favor the
moly/graphite assembly lube you'd use for cam
swaps, myself; leaves a good graphite load and
I haven't "squoke" since doing that maybe 5 years
back (whenever the Strano sway bars first came
out).
