I don't think it's the end links (or ONLY the end links) squeaking. The stock control arm bushings are known / prone to squeaking. White lithium grease helps a lil... but will wash away when wet. Real bushing grease will do the trick... but if you take off the bushings, you should just replace them anyway.

if they squeak when you go over a speed bump (entire front end of the car goes up and down) then its likely the sway bar mounts on the body where the bar twists inside of it.
Anti-seize works perfect as urethane lube. Unbolt the bar and stick some of that junk in there.
