Death by valet !
#1
Had my Delorean valeted, during which they steam cleaned under
My wheel arches. Now I have a little squeaky sound when I go over bumps or turn the wheel.

I assume the steam has melted the grease of key areas.

Do these cars have grease nipples under and around the suspension?

Or is it just a case of greasing around joints n stuff?

Can anyone recommend a type of grease best for the job?

Peace!

2 grease nipples on each side of the front suspension on the ball joints of the upper and lower arms, (wheel end) any bearing grease should be suitable.
It may be just water sitting somewhere that will dry out (hopefully not in the wheel bearings)
Or in the spring mounts which often make a noise!

It's probably the rubber suspension bushes - spray a bit of silicone grease on their general area. In particular the top of the shock tower and the anti-roll bar bushes
