the only grease fittings are around the king pins. what you might want to try is
1. some kind of lubricant - WD40? someone help me out here and, if that doesn't work
2. set it down on the wheels and loosen and tighten the bolts attaching the A-arm to the frame, and maybe the shock arm to the suspension and the trunnion bolt at the top of the king-pin. They may have been tightened with the car in the air.

Re: squeek squeek squeek says my front suspension.
Sadly they had abandoned the vacuum tubes.
Can you duplicate the squeak while the car is stopped?
If so get a friend to help and have them make it go squeak
whilst you try to find exactly what is the culprit.
Can you describe the squeak?
Stuff like that drives me crazy!

Just explain that it's part of the unique *character* of a true British sports car.
If that doesn't work, take her car. :laugh:

LOL ya gonna do that, I took the wheel off and just sprayed wd-40 anywhere and everywhere, and found a grease fitting on the bottom, which serves no purpose cuz the grease just came out the other side lol. The sounds is like a rubbery type of squishing sound, just picture in the old tv shows where testing the car suspensions makes the squeek

Date turned out okay, I dont have to worry about impressing her or anything, she is already my girlfriend, and she is my helper when I need a second person to help with the car, just the squeaking would be very annoying, since I have to go buy some oil, I will pick up some spray lithium grease also
