DOC...has it right. WD-40 with a jet tube in the nozzle, spray the shaft near the seals. This will flood the area, wash out the loose dirt, and help the dust seal a bit. There is also an inner seal that retains the oil in the shock. If this seal is deteriorated, there will be a lot of oil already present. The shock at this point is as good as it is going to get.

shure the shocks are the squeaks?
I've had some that were the bushings that connect the control arms to the frame.... But try the wd-40 or white lithum grease and see what happens...
also Fords of that vintage were known for a squeak only when turning that was traced to the idler arm on the steering....

it is usually just the bushings that make then squeak,,you can spray a little w-d-40 on then around the shaft area,,and the bushing area and make them stop for a little while,,but sooner or later they will start doing it again,,replacement of the shocks is necessary sooner or later,,but for a temporary fix,wd-40 will help,,good luck with them,,hope this help,s.
