Lower control arm bushings

[Pete Munroe]

Wolf,

You went one step further by adding grooves to the metal sleeve (as well as the poly bushing?). Never thought of grooving the metal sleeve, or the inside of the the poly-bushes...only the outside. oops. Of course, that leaves one surface, the inner, potentially too dry.

How did you groove the metal sleeve? I get frustrated with steel very quickly, its hard stuff...doing the poly-bushings ID as well as OD should work about as well.

Have been removing and lubing everything on the car chasing a very annoying SQUEAK-SQUEAK...every tar-strip you hit...so loud and sharp you would think it would be easy to find...not.

About all that is left, and I dread doing it, is drop the front lower arms (and maybe the rear-end cradle bushings). If the control arms come off, they will get zerks, grooves and if that doesn't stop the squeak I do not know what will.

Let us know what type/price of grease gun and cartidges you get for the silicone lube. Silicone lube from Energy Suspension is really thick (and pricey!) stuff and may need a better gun than the normal chassis lube gun? You are the appointed product tester here...!
