Where to grease/lube front suspension?

I will be installing the ES bushings in the front and while I do that, I'd like to hit the suspension where it needs to be lubed if necessary.

Car is an 05 with 60k miles now and I've never done this yet and haven't seen a need to but if it's a good idea, I might as well do it while I'm down there.

Your advice would be appreciated.

everything should be sealed unless you've had some aftermarket parts put in.

I really wish Scion had put grease fittings on these things. I hate not being able to lube up moving parts. Hopefully the replacement parts will have them.
