lube spray for winter squeak??

So I have the dreaded winter front suspension squeak over speed bumps on my sstc. Would spraying a bunch of lube help this noise?? And where, or at which points on front suspension should the spray go? Maybe.a pic with arrows would help....

Im having the same problem this was the first winter my '07 is making squeaky noises from the suspension.

From what i've researched the problem seems to be the grease on the suspension sway bar bushings. You have to lube them up with new grease preferably a low temp grease.

I have no idea how to get to the bushings are or how to do it sorry, but I'm going to look into it more this weekend

My rear squeaks when going over a dip in the road. However front is quiet. Happens when freezing only. Would like to know if there is a grease point for this too.

You have to remove the bushings and grease them. Pain in the ass and too cold for me to do it this winter. Looks like a summer job

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

And trying to lube them without a hoist is pointless.
