Squeakty-squeak-squeakitin noises from my new to me GS300
Hey gang, new here. I tried searching but was not able to find information that would help me.
So I recently purchased a 98 GS300 - the previous owner lowered the car using I coil overs (no idea the brand - probably cheapies) and its riding on 18's. The car squeaks like in riding an ironing board down the road. I tried to spray lithium grease on some of the joints and bushings etc, but still squeaking like I kidnapped a tree full of squirrels :/
Any easy fix ideas on this one? I have limited access to tools and time, so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

rear could be the rear knuckle, rear axle carrier bushing, RUCA, shocks, subframe bushings and a few other things, front can be many more things so please help yourself and try and isolate it down to a certain area/place on the car

Pretty sure its coming from the rear. I can stand outside and lightly push on the back end and it squeaks like crazy.
I just bought the car recently so I don't know what was changed out besides it being on Megan coilovers. Someone local said they had a fix which is push out the bushings and inject lithium grease in it.
Is that good or bad or will it even make a difference?
Thanks for the assist gents.

Lower knuckle bushing/bearing. I just replaced mine with the Figs replacement. Exact same noise that I HAD!!!

I also bought the install tool that they mention in the instructions.

You can buy others cheaper. I was impressed with the Figs part.

It's just an idea, if you're trying to locate a squeaky sound. I thought mine was my rear suspension but it turned out to be a loose taillight. It may or may not be your problem, I'm just sayin'
