About a month agoc I put on my new front suspension (5-lug, turbo tie rods, ball joints, bushings etc.). I only lightly greased the bushing to get them on the arms. Now, the front end just seems too stiff. When I bounce it via pushing on the top of the fenders it's stiff and does some squeeking.
Should I have really greased the inside of the bushings and control arm before slipping them on? Since I'm now putting on the sway bar stuff it's a good time to pull them if I should have. Oh...they are OEM bushings not Weltmeister. Thanks, Jim |
