the front end on these dont have grease fittings so they go dry over time. i use a needle adapter for a grease gun and pierce holes in the rubber boots on the front end components to get grease in there if they are not already worn out

i would lube the ball joints and the tie rod ends. you can take it to a shop and they would probably do it for you with a oil change for free if you ask.
