Default Squeaky steering

There is a squeak when steering left and right. The noise does not seem to be coming from the suspension. Does anyone have any ideas of a grease point or where at in the steering I should lube to remove the noise.

Thanks,
Forrest

The more I look at it, it is more of a creaking noise then squeeking. It appears to be coming from the front upper arm area. I wasnt able to find any zerk fittings yet, if there are any.

I had a polaris before this one and there were zerk fittings on the arms, but how do you all suggest I grease the arms on a Kodiak?

Thanks,
Forrest

if there's no grease fittings than it's a dry lube set up. with out taking it appart and actually greasing it you can spray wd-40 or pb blaster on the moving parts. i did this on my cuz's honda 300ex and it stoped and is fine now. or it could be possible that you need new bushings. but i would spray it with something and see if it stops.
