Thanks to all the people who contributed suggestions, I have now conquered the squeek!!.
After drowning all the rubber bushings in various sprays, I took to the ball joints. I drilled and tapped them and installed grease nipples.  a shot of Molybdenum grease and the squeek is gone! Woohoo!
It shows me just how inadequate sealed ball joints are.
Now to attack that fan heater box.......I wonder where I should put the grease nipple..............
