... to quiet them down and limber them up? Stray squeaks and such in the suspension make me uneasy...

Silicone spray lubricant. Preserves, lubricates and protects the rubber and won't harm it like petroleum products. STP is one brand.

Both good suggestions. The smell of talcum powder might cause me some nasty flashbacks, though... visions of dirty diapers... whoa..

Think I'll go with the spray silicone...

Make sure it's 100% straight silicone and not cut with a bunch of other additives.
