Default Squeaky Suspension?

2006 A6 Vert. Z51, 30,000 miles. All of the sudden have this squeaky sound coming from the suspension (I think suspension) reminds me of an old 64 Chevy Impala that I had, you know that ole chevy squeak....UGH. Only seems to make the noise as I turn and go up the driveway (slight incline) and the suspension is torqued a bit. Im gonna raise it up in the air and take a look. What should I grease and are there zerk fittings? Any grease recommendations?

Yes there are zero fittings on each side of the rear. I would use valvoline synthetic grease. The Mobil 1 grease is what is recommended by GM, but alot of people have had problems with it leaking back out (including myself).

Hey NewToC6, I responded in your other thread as well, but I would check ball joints too, on top of my previous recommendation. If you find there are some bushings that need some proper grease, I will see what I can do about tracking you down some of ours.
