Mono leaf springs with rubber bushings.

Took the kids out to dinner last night and the car was squeaking up a storm. First time I've heard it squeak like this.

Went underneath it today and could hear it squeak from the rear bushings.

I don't see any zirk fittings...how do you lube them up to stop the squeaking?

Bushing are looking cracked on the edges, so probably need to replace them anyway, but while I research to decide what I want to do (probably change the leafs too), I'd like to eliminate the squeaks.
