Default Squeaky Jag - grease fittings?

This car sat for 2 years and previous owner didn't do squat as far as upkeep it looks like. I just replaced both shocks on front as they were Jaguar originals after 192k miles, was gonna grease the front end to get rid of all the squeaky noises as its sounding like a cheap Lincoln going down the road with all that squeak noise. Is there a replacement bushing kit that will replace all the bushings on the front end? Is there any grease sfittings somewhere that I'm missing? I'd really love to get this car to be quiet haha. Thanks.

My VDP has 98k miles and I have a squeak that I am pretty sure is coming from a dry/worn lower ball joint. If you've eliminated the other options, that might be it.

There is a complete front end kit available from vendors on this forum. It includes the upper and lower ball joints, upper and lower control arm bushings, sway bar links, and lower shock absorber bushings. The sway bar bushings are sold separately and I would recommend you replace those 1st before anything else.

Buying the whole kit is the easy part - installing them, especially the lower control arm bushings, is way more difficult. Are you planning to do the work yourself?
