Default Grease Points or Lubrication?

With the cool weather this week in the Chicago area I have some very noticable squeaks, i.e. leaving the gym last night folks from 50 yards away looked over as I inclined down a pavement change. The noise seems to be particularly in the front suspension with lots of creeking. While under SmartCare I had my oil changed at the dealer, since this expired I have been doing my own work on the car.

Are there any grease points I need to be aware of or should I just hit the bushings with some White Lithium? Anywhere else I should be aware of?

Thx

No grease points or lubrication required on the C5.

The bushings need to be lubed via Spray or wiped on.You can either take them out and lube them or try the spray. Many drivers have experience this problem and lubricating the bushings seem to be the fix. :seeya

No grease fittings! As above, you might try lube spray on the sway bar bushings. Also, put a little lube on the rubber stops under the hood as these sometimes cause a "sqweek"...... :yesnod: :)
