My front suspension is creeking like a mutha fucka, It is just a static drop with wound down torsions, Are they greaseable or are my joints fucked? There are no grease nipples, and it has been creeking for a while and only getting worse. Any advice or tips would be great, thanks in advance guys

Does it creek when you turn? ? Or jus when you hit a bump or what? ? And no, factory bushings and balljoints are rarely greasable. . Unless you do what I did on my Pup and put some grease on your finger in shove it in through the tear in the boot. . . lmao. . but its a pos anyway so i don't care. . If it creeks when you steer and when you hit bumps, it's probably your ball joints. . But idk. . Maybe someone else will. .

I'm going to say control arm bushings. Get some wd40 and spray them real good (the bushings) and see if it stops. Just an idea.

yeah more than likely balljoints... are yours looking old/original? look like the boot is completely empty?

on another quick note, take a look at your sway bar and stabilizer and links... mine made noise due to being loose.

cheers guys, didnt think i could grease them, probably bushes as they are original, chnged balljoints wen i put drop spindles in,

And it is suspension cause creeks wen i press down on bonnet and whilst driving, I will try wd40 first then go from there

thanks for the input guys

use white spray grease it works better than wd-40

i have the same problem on my truck..it's the upper control arm bushings..they are super cheap at the auto parts store and easy to install...the new ones have grease fittings with are especially helpful with the static drop...but just double check the rest of the front end just to be sure
