There is nothing to grease on the suspension.

Are you sure its both front and back and both sides?

Some of the suspension nuts should only be torqued up correctly when the car is resting on its suspension, could this be the problem?

Which parts of the suspension did you replace?

Suggest you lube the front anti roll bar rubber bushes. Make sure you only use a lube that won't damage the rubber. I used silicone oil on my wife's C3 and had to use a syringe to get it between the bushes and roll bar. Disconnect the drop links before you do it as this makes the roll bar easy to move and work the lube into the bush.
Not sure what the rear squeak will be but suspect something similar.
