I forgot to lubricate the main bushing that connects the lower control arm to the frame of the car while re-assembling it, surprise surprise, the car squeaks. does anyone have suggestions on how I can get in there with a good lubricant without disassembling the whole thing again?

'70 mustang coupe, with refreshed stock suspension.

Unless you have polly eurathane bushings that bushing does not lube ,it simply tightens down ,it is laminated rubber and once tightened the sleeve does not turn ,the rubber simply flexes and the control arm moves up and down . The upper control shaft does twist and does need grease . The spring saddles also do not twist but simply flex in the rubber bushing ...unless they have been replaced by the newer roller spring saddles . Pollyurathane bushings will squeak unless they get greased
