Re: Squeaky suspension
technically, the proper lubricants will solve this problem - those would be the ones prescribed by your suspension creator. if it's polyurethane, it's exotic - generally wd40 would work, but it's a temporary fix.

Re: Squeaky suspension
Push the corner of the car up and down at each wheel. If one or more squeak, have someone else do the same thing while you try to find where exactly it's coming from. Usually a squeaky suspension part should be replaced. The friction that causes the squeaking wears down the joint and you may have to take the part off anyway to properly lube it. As Corksil said, WD-40 is a temporary fix for squeaking of any kind. Try to use at least an all-purpose grease to lube any squeaking.

what model car is is exactly there are many service bulletins for a few vehicles out there with squeaky suspension's . Usually it is the sturts but you have to do the corner bounce test. LET ME KNOW

Re: Squeaky suspension
If it's squeaking at either end of the shock then you can remove the bolts, clean the rubber or polyurethane bushings, grease them and reassemble. If it's squeaking from the shaft then you need to replace them. If you can't tell then grease one of em and see if it fixes the problem.
