I have not even driven the car yet and the bushings squeak a lot! Is there a way to grease these to make them quiet or am I screwed? The car has 0 miles on it, (well pushing it onto the trailer and off a few times) and the bushings are so loud I would be embarassed to drive it. I could run open headers and still hear the creaking coming from these bushings. Someone help me out here, I cant drive this like that.

Man,
you've got to lube them up. Performance & Pelican (and others) are close and sell the Weltmeister grease. When I put the rear sway on (with welt bushings) Dave at GPR said I could use the marine grade wheel bearing grease I had. You want something that won't errode over time with weather (or lack thereof in SoCal). Some folks put zerk (sp?) fittings on them with a groove to hold the grease. My front end bushings are tres squeaky, too. |
