grease fittings? 300e

my 87 300E is squeakin like crazy sounds like its dry some where around the tires or suspenison on both sides everytime i turn the wheel or push down on the front end of the car. anyway i wasted a hole can of wd40 spraying everything that moves under the hood but still nothing, looked n looked n can not find a single grease fitting, do i have to take off the tire to access them i can imagine these cars not having them.

if anyone can tell me where they are or have a pic that would be great. thanks!!

A lot of things can cause it and there's a lot of threads in here about front end squeeks.
Check your anti-sway bar bushings first.
Most links are permanent lube (no grease fittings) and you have to replace the link.

Have you tried using a short length of scrap garden hose as a stethoscope? You'll probably need a helper for this, unless you can bounce the car while you're underneath.
