Grease zerk info on front end

Have a squeaky right front bushing. Not sure if it's the UCA, LCA or what but definitely right front. Looked through the suspension for unusual signs of wear and rubbing and noticed that there are no grease zerks at the knuckles anywhere! Am I missing something? All threads that I have read only refer to grease zerks for the driveshafts and yoke. Is this right? Are there no grease zerks in the steering or suspension? Under the Runner right now. lol. Any expedient and accurate info is appreciated! Please and thank you!

no grease fittings on the front suspension. Does it squeak when you bounce the front end?
 
No. Not when it's still, only on the road. Sounds chirpy in sync with the bumps in the road at lower speeds maybe under 30. Maybe higher speeds too and just can't hear it.

Take a really good look at your sway bar end links. I had mine come loose and wouldn't be noisy unless I was driving. I found it by actually crawling underneath the truck and " bench pressing" the truck a little.
How many miles on the truck?
Are you sure it's in the front?

126k mi. When I looked yesterday there seemed to be equal amounts of thread at the top of both links, but maybe they're both loose! I'll check the bottom bolts as well. Perhaps it's a body panel squeak. Yeah for sure the front. Will do some more exploration. At least I got my driveshaft lubed yesterday if nothing else! lol
