Do poly bushings squeak alot ?

Re: Do poly bushings squeak alot ?
If you lube them correctly with the right grease, they will not squeak. I put in the ES Master Set about 8 years ago, and there's still no noises in any of the ones that are still left (several deleted when rod-end components were added).

I had a set of poly bushings put on my former 91 Corvette. Handled great, but squeaked alot. About every six weeks I would need to squirt some penetrating Graphite Spray on them. I had a mechanic do the conversion for me on that car, and maybe he didn't used a good enough grease, they supposedly had graphite built in

Got all the rear part of the kit in, gives a nice tight feel to the ride, minimal road noise. Will skip the torque arm mount, front end in a few weeks...

Got a Hotchkis TVS in the wife's truck, and the bushings need to be greased every 4 weeks. Might have to do with corrosive salt air in Hawaii, but the handling difference is night and day.

Agree with Injuneer, when properly lubed, they shouldn't squeek. I got stingy when applying the small packets of grease and didn't use it all. The car groaned and squeeked alot. I bought a tube of poly grease and lubed them very well and haven't had any noise since.

I did the front and rear sway bar bushings and endlinks and it made a tremendous difference!! The first time I took the car around a sharp curve I thought it was going to tip over! Felt like an SUV. No it stay almost perfectly flat around the curves with no body movement to speak of.
