Squeak from where?
 
Fiat panda 06 petrol 1.1 think its
  • The rubber seal and the universal joint here often dry out and squeak when the wheel turns.
 
wd40 spray

If it contains natural rubber, I don't know if it does
Wd40 my not be an ideal choice, the solvents in wd40 my degrade it or cause it to swell

I would not be over worried but probably best not to use term

The solvents may also flush out some of the remaining grease from the UJ

It a common problem on the Merc A class. Spray silicone on the UJ fixed these. Although not a common problem on the panda as far as I know
 
Ok so spray silicone on the joint above
Silicone is safe anywhere which is why @jackwhoo suggested it

Fine on rubber
Fine on metal
Fine getting wet

So ideal around here

I been using this stuff for the last couple of years
