squeak in steering & question about greasing parts.

On my way back from picking up chineese food (mmmmm....) my steering started squeaking...its when I turn the wheel.

I have never greased my nipples (haha! you sick bastard) since i dont have a grease gun, think that might be my problem? Dont wanna sound like a knob but where are my nipples exactlly (lol again...under the rubber boots?).

While I'm on the subject I havnt greased anything on my car since i've owned it, what needs greasing?

THANKS!

Might also be the rack bushings, they tend to squeak when worn out. Good time to put in aluminum ones...

I also have a squeak, but it only appears to be on the driver's side. Today I threw in new swaybar endlink bushings (just because I had an extra set laying around) and started greasing everything I could find. I greased the tie rod ends, and the balljoints. So it still was squeaking and i got really close with my ear and it looks like it's my driver's balljoint. Lubricating everything didn't help.
