My trailing arms are creaking..., how do I lube these thing? Options

[ss6]

It's been 2 seasons since the trailing arms were rebuilt (Patrick M/S) which included re-fitting the pivot hardware. Last summer I'd get a random "knock" which drove me nuts trying to find. Finally, at the end of the season, *both* trailing arms started doing it regularly, which cleared up the "wtf" part.

I've never lubed any part of the trailing arm pivots - is this necessary, and if so, how and with what???

Are you talking about the rears?

If so...
For the cluncking sound, check the mounting holes on the inner suspension pick-up (the "ear")
These may have been ovaled. If so, repair them.
(there's a good thread on it in the classic threads)

The squeeky noise you here is the polygraphite bushings (which I suppose you are using) are binding.
Check them for fit/wear and regrease them with the special gorilla snot
You could add zirk fittings for future greasing while you're at it.

Better yet, get some of those nifty rollerbearings form Mueller (if your budget allows it)

cheers,
