Around the shock absorber center nut (The nut with the cable going into it). You should be able to see some of the rubber mount around that nut. I used Formula 303 protectant because I felt that the liquid would penetrate better than grease and won't damage the rubber, but others have had good luck with lithium grease. My one time spray has lasted around 4 years now!

This did the trick for me as well after silicone spray didn't make a difference. I either didn't use enough silicone spray or the 303 spray is what made the real difference.
