Default Squeak

So my woman was driving and I was riding shot gun. And I noticed a nice squeak coming from the front end suspension and couldn't put my finger in it. I thought it was the sway links so I put some grease on the bushings and nodda. I think I'm gonna drill a hole in the A-arm bushings and install some grease fittings. Now I hope that the drill will make it down into the sleeve to allow some of the grease to be injected in between the metal to metal. Not sure if this will do the trick, but I sure hope so.

You can try WD-40. Get a can and spray 1 thing at a time. Then take it for a test drive. If you hear it stop and spray another spot. A good 10 mins and you should find you squeak.

I just had a squeal that I couldn't find. Thought maybe u-joints since it was while i was driving and would stop when I was coming to a stop. And last night my transfer case blew a hole in the bottom of it right at the front output shaft.
