I had a quick spray of a few things the other day but didn't help.What exactly needs to be lubed suspension wise?Could it possibly be shocks?

As far as they could tell all the bushes were fine. I assumed it was the new leafs from when I got my ute lowered, so I got some Lithium grease and coated the crap out of the leafs/joints everything.It went away for a bit, but now its back again.When I got under the car I noticed the bush that sits in between the dif/leafs looks fairly worn considering it's 2 years old (especially on the drivers side)It doesn't feel like anything bad, just sounds like something is a little dry and not lubed up.
