This is my first SUV but the truck sqeaks a whole lot at low speed when going over bumps. I hit all of the zirc fittings with lube, but are you supposed to lube other bushing and how. All of the rubber bushings look to be in good shape but she still squeaks away. Please let me know. Thanks.

I'm guessing that you put a shot of WD40 or the like on the bushings? If so. From another site it was suggested that the squeaks were coming from the shocks. Here is what to do to fix them. If you can find a medical syringe like would be use for a shot in the arm or leg, not real small. Remove the plunger and fill with WD40 or 3-in-1 oil. If the shocks have boots on them, insert the needle into the boot point towards the shaft. then push plunger and inject the oil. this will lube the shock shaft and the boot will not leak because of the small needle. This should be done near the top of the boot/shock. For shocks without boots, insert needle where shock shaft enters shock at the seal.
This came from trailvoy web site about squeaky front shocks.........
I had the same problem with my truck. It turned out to be the front shocks. You should either replace the shocks, or do what trueheel1 said.

If your u-joints are bad enough they will squeek as the needle bearings inside of them are actually making there way out-as was the case in my suburban, a very creeky squeek I might add
