Squeaking front suspension - due to poly bushings?
Hi all,
My front end has started squeaking in a dog-squeak-toy-like fashion when driving over bumps. I can reproduce it every time by driving over a speedbump, but I also get it with curbs, potholes, etc. Before I have the dealer look at it, could this be due to my use of Neuspeed polyurethane bushings on my front sway bar? I haven't greased them since I put them in, a little under a year ago. Also, what kind of grease will I need? I no longer have the grease that came with the bushings. Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 YES, you nailed it. THe polyurethane bushings did it to my rear ingalls. Every day at school when I would go over a speed bump, I would turn up my music because the squeaking was so loud. Finally one day I took some wd-40 and drowned the mother faukers. Been about 6 months now and not one squeak.
