Control Arm Bushing Squeak

Ok quick question. tried a search with mixed results. I've developed a sqeak in the past couple days, been driving me . I finally located the culprit (while laying under the truck pushing up and down, back hurts now... ). The passenger lower control arm front bushing is sqeaking... Is there any way to lube this up? WD40, PB heard silicone wont work well. Everything is tight and beautiful under there for now hate to have to replace the dang thing.

Thanks

It's more likely your shock absorber squeaking at the mounts. Try oiling them with a mix of brake fluid and ATF.
