Default chassis lube

Have annoying squeaking in my suspension when off roading or hitting bumps. I think i may need my ball joints, tie rod ends and chassis lubed. Is it worth doing myself. What points would i have to hit and what kind of grease should i use. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

Dude there is no grease fittings on are new dakota's, you can look but i was told there is no such thing as a grease fitting to lube, because they did away with that, and those noises your hearin that sound like sqeaking, are they coming from the back or is it up front, if it's coming from up front it could be sway bar links that are cracked or tie rod end's that are loose, i know about suspension problems cause i just had a sway bar link replaced and a tie rod end replaced, so check everything out or take it to your local dealer, hope this helps, and the whole time i thought my leaf springs were noisy but it was all in the front the whole time and oh yeah do you hear metal rattling too.
