lube suspension?
Ok guys don't flame me please. I have been looking all under my 2007 Sport 4WD 4runner for the grease points for the front suspension and can't find one Zirk fitting. The reason want to lube up the front end is I have a really nasty sounding creek when hit bumps while making really sharp turns. The only grease points I have found are the ones for the drive shaft.

I went out and took a look under my truck. I took a picture of my front end driver side circled where I just put some grease. Is this the right spot? If not can you please let me know where the right spot is. Under full turn the 2 areas I greased do not touch but I did see what looked to be wear marks.
Thank you,
Aaron

I'm pretty sure yours is the same as the pic minus the CV shaft.

You're right about the driveline. I wasn't thinking about that...  Sometimes I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I was thinking about the steering stops, I think your 2wd has the same setup that requires an occasional dab of grease.
You can check the fluid but it's a pain: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showth...threadid=36489
