Default What all can I lube on the chassis of my C5?

Guys,
My car has developed a couple of squeaks and I would just like to lube all of the bushings or whatever that I can...

Do any of em' have those "zerk" fittings? Is there any way to lube the sway bar, control arms and everything etc???

Thanks so much!
Donnie

No grease fittings (speaking of stock ball joints, tie rod ends ect)

Best way to lube the sway bay frame bushings is to remove them.

I would recommend brake caliper synthetic grease. Easy to find at most AP stores under the brand "Sta-Lube" and is pretty cheap too. It has good water resistance and of course is excellent for brake caliper hardware too.
