My 95 town car has had its air suspension converted to coils& shocks. I've got and old bed spring squeek on the front and back and was wondering what i could oil/grease and what would work best, oil or grease. I saw what I think is an upper control arm on the front that when I push down on the fender I can see it doing its thing and part of the squeek may be coming from there. I have a grease gun, 3 in 1 oil, WD-40, motor oil to choose from. thanx
 
The hard part is just finding the damn thing. Grease is probably the best choose for a lasting solution. Oil is easier to squirt all over all of the possible suspects. I fought with a creak in the rear of my Continental for months. Upper control arm bushings. Squirted oil all over them and they still creaked. Flared a break line and flattened the other end and installed it on my small grease gun. Forced the grease in the sides and eventually I got them to quiet down. I have read that oil breaks down rubber bushings but a person has only so much tolerance. Silicone spray is another alternative for bushings that I have seem recommended.
