Alright, I have Spohn lower control arms with standard poly bushings in them. They squeak all the damn time, going over the slightest bump or anything that causes any kind of suspension movement. I thought with good silicone grease that wouldn't be an issue but apparently I was wrong.

Is this just a fact of life with polyurethane control arm bushings?

Also, on the subject of greasing, what is the typical greasing schedule for control arms? I bought a tube of silicone grease just for those control arms (and possible future upper arm) but no idea on the interval for greasing.

Make sure they are properly torqued, I believe it was 130 ft/lbs if memory serves me...

Mine squeaked (Steeda Chromoly) when I first installed them but no longer squeak and I haven't applied any grease since installed. I'd say about 4-5 years ago.

My UPR arms don't squeak. I've put around 30k miles on them.

I have CHE lower control arms, no speaks ever.

X2 on the torque... I have BMR lowers with poly bushings and steel sleeves inside. I could see some cuts in the poly around the sleeve to let grease between. I used mercury 101 special lube, the green stuff. Not a single squeak. Steeda adj upper, same thing.

This is the grease you should be using.


That tub will last you forever. It's sticky as snot, so wear gloves or wash your hands with gasoline afterwards.
