greese zerks

I was under the truck looking for things to greese.

On the rear drums there are zerks and on the front calipers there are zerks or at least they look like zerks.

Are they greese fittings or are the how you bleed them or something?

This may seem stupid but have not work on brakes yet still learning.

Those are bleeder valves. No need to grease those.

I thought that is what they were. My front end really squeeks alot when I bounce it up and down. Is it more than likely wore out bushings on the suspension?

Maybe worn but more likely just dry upper and lower control arm bushings.
I had an annoying squeek in the torsion bar bushing on my van early this summer. I sprayed them with PB Blaster and haven't heard them since. Might be worth a try.
