I've been noticing squeaks coming from my suspension and I was wondering what lube points there are besides the usual front end grease fittings and what should I use to lube them?
 






It's you have all OE components, there are no lube points.
 






Squeaks are often caused by a slightly loose bushing bolt. Allows the bushing's inner metal core to move against the bracket.

Probably first thing to do is check the condition of the shock absorbers but if those look good, it's probably time to dig out the bigger wrenches and go for the suspension bushings.
 






It could also be the sway bar pins or mounting bushes. Or the shock bushes.

One way to trace it is to spray rubber bushes etc with water to see if that shuts it up.
