Squeaky Suspension

Well the car is showing some age...

The rear suspension started to squek from the right side and now its on the left and its time i do something about it.

What bushings are normally the ones to be squeaking...

The right side sway bar has a poly end link that broke on the first day of putting the car in turns(wasnt a very smooth road) and i think im gonna put the other end link with it in place of the stock right side link.

A guy i talked to said you can use some kind of medical needle fill it up with a grease and inject it into the sides of the bushings and once it wears itself in it should fix the squeaks? anyone heard of this?

Can anyone link me to some kits outthere to replace old bushings?

And what kinda grease can i use to stop the squeaks for a decently long time.

I used WD-40 but the stuff goes away in less then a day.

Any help will be appreciated

buy a grease gun, if theres no nipples to grease it up, pull them off and give it a greasing
