Default Grease points in the front

i have noticed that my front end starts squeaking after driving for about an hour. When I first start my drive....quiet as a church mouse. But the longer I cruise the louder the squeak gets. when I park the car and push down the front end on the passenger side it squeaks really bad. I first thought it might be the rubber spacers from the new shocks but I don't think so anymore. Too loud. Should I just start greasing up any suspension points I can find? Is there a particular type of grease that should be used? Tips for application? THANKS A BUNCH!!

In Mustangs, the #1 source of squeaks is the upper control arm shaft. Make sure it has zerk fittings, and get some grease in there. Do the others too, of course.

And check the sway bar end links they can pop if wore out or broken.Easy way to remember it is if the part moves it gets greased.
