After washing my 700 pioneer I get a terrible squeak in the front suspension after hosing it of. I have sprayed lubricant on all the grommets and it will continue to squeak. Any suggestion?

At least one ball joint started creaking/squeaking on my last 2 pioneers. If you determine that's what it is, I was able to get a grease needle under the boot and fill it up. It probably won't stop until it gets run down the trail and works it in.

I spray silicone spray lube from Napa on all 4 a-arm bushings and both shock mounts. But sometimes it creaks like and old Screen door. One time it was so loud you could here it riding. Later It turned out to be the bottom of the spring where it sets over the strut.
