If lubing the rubber on the shock doesn't work then my bet is you have an issue with the upper control arm shaft bushing. This is a fairly common problem. If you find a need to restore this bushing I suggest you read the MustangSteve FAQ

RE: Some Questions for '68 302 4V

Just noticing the plates and backgrounds in the pics. Almost feels like you arent in north america, reminds me alot of the Persian Gulf region.. if you are from the states, what state? And what is up with the sindh on the plates?

I am just curious is all.. nice ride

If the grease makes things quite, you have found the problem but not fixed it.

RE: Some Questions for '68 302 4V

haha..you'd be surprised...Pakistan isn't as bad and run down as the media puts it..haha...we have quite a collection of rare cars like old Astons, RR Silver Clouds, Mustangs, Chargers....people here have no shortage of cash.....I mean we have every other dealership here...like Rolls Royce..Bentley....Merc...BMW..Renault.....Brabus just opened a showroom here...so yeah its pretty alright...haha...but this one i had it flown in from Australia...

So a grease kit for the Upper control arm is just a temporary remedy?
