If you spray it on something and the squeek went away, then you know where the problem is.

But it will dry up very quickly, so you want to get some probably grease on the parts that require lubrication.
Normally I suggest the old fashion white lithium grease, unless you need something "thicker".

Thanks for the help Jerrick,

But yes, exactly like Jerrick said, was using the WD-40 to try to pinpoint where the possible squeaking could be coming from. If it did go away then id know that was the spot and would hit it up with grease. Im going to white lithium spray all the bushing joints again today. Do you think i should take the front sway bar off and grease up the bushings there? or would a spray with a straw attachment be enough to get in there.

Thanks again
