Help!!!
I was hoping someone could help me with my squeaks. I just bought this car and the prior owner did a complete frame off restoration and he said he might have used the wrong bushings on the trailing and control arms. He used performance bushings and they really squeak to say the least (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I have been told to just take them out and grease them and some have even said when there out, install a grease jerk on the cases so I can just hit them whenever they act up. Is this about all you can do? Thanks for the help in advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

I've had good success with silicone grease on suspension bushings. When assembling I use Super Lube in a 4oz tube, then I fill them up through the zerks with silicone grease in a grease gun. It's 20something bucks a tube but worth it.
