I have the cars up on jacks for brake work and would like to address some issues with the car squeeking and creeking in the morning when going over bumps and making hard slow speed turns. I have been told that a quick fix to try is to lubricate several parts. Anyone have a link to good instructions for this?

Check ball joints for looseness and noise. Just grab them and pull hard every which way to see if there's movement. There should be none.
You can get some squeaks and noise from bushings like the sway bar bushings and lower arm bushings. The way to check them is to spray them one at a time with soapy water until the car quiets down. Obviously, don't spray all of them at once or you won't know which one is the culprit. Noisy bushings should be replaced.
With a grease gun, lube any Zerk fittings as part of normal maintenance.
