Squeaky suspension

Hey guys, I have a very badly worn suspension, especially my front, and it squeaks non stop, getting in or out, coming to stop, whenever. My quesstion is can I grease the bushings to make 'em stop or would I need to replace them?

I think its normally the ball joints that make the squeking, you can grease them with a grease needle and you might be able to grease the bushing too with the needle. Just go to an Autozone or similar and buy like 2(they bend easily) only like $3 each.

If you do any work on these let us know...my front driver's side squeks alot when I'm driving. I mostly hear it going through the parking lot with the window rolled down. I wonder if I need to replace my ball joints?
