Squeaking could be coming from the inner wishbone bolts - these are "built dry". Lower ones easy to get at, upper ones less so in order to remove bolts and grease up.

Graeme, the joints are like a rose joint (see my pix at http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic13469-15.html (scroll down).

Thanks Joe. The squeak is definitely coming from an outer joint and I'm fairly sure the bottom joint is the source. With minimal load on the top one I can cause the squeak by moving the top one sideways a little using a large screw-driver but no noise from the top.

Also check the toe bar for movement at both ends, if this is shot, it can allow "natural" movement in the rose joints .
