I'm not the specialist. I am asking the question. I know it is something that needs to be done but when and how is the question. What products are needed etc? I am BC BR and RPF1s 17x9 for about 2 years now. I have some squeaking hear and there and sometimes all day. What approach is needed?

I’m a little confused as to what your questions is lol. What do you mean squeezing?
 
Not sure if there is a mileage requirement for suspension work. If you hear squeaks you might want to loosen the components, hit them with some lithium grease, and re-tighten them while they're loaded.

Would it be everything?
 
There is no real maintenance required on the OEM suspension except to replace as needed.

If you have coilovers or sway bars, you have to grease anything that can bind, such as coil springs, sway bar bushings, any kind of aftermarket bushing or arms that you may have. Clean and grease, that's really all there is to it. Also check your sway bars for preload, and make sure every nut and bolt are still tight.
