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 been lucky thus far to not have squeaking from the rear polyurethane bushings on my car. Next time the trailing arms come off I will use the Elephant polybronze parts.
I have the "Mike Mueller" needle bearings up front and they are the bomb. Slick motion and no squeaking or binding whatsoever. I did not do the installation myself (Ottos did) but I understand it's not a trivial undertaking to get it right. Plus they need to be inspected and cleaned/relubed periodically. Cool car by the way - hope to see you around, maybe on the Hangover Run on Jan 1st??? |
