Red poly bushings squeaking, have already greased, what are you all doing?

 

+1 -.-

 

Might not be the LCAs. Alot of us have the squeaking and do not have the LCAs. My sound seems like it is coming from the back seat, but it is actually something under the car.

 

Check the sway bar bushings. Sometimes they can be sqeaky. A little bit of teflon tape or Spray Lithium greaseon the bar where the bushing rides will help stop sqeaking there.

 

Check the UCA as well and make sure all polys are greased!

 

don't forget to make sure the flux capacitor is set at 1.21 jigga watts or yer SCREWED. i'm not really sure i'm just watching this thread cause i'm installing the BMR relocation brackets and Spohn combo adjustable LCAs in a few weeks. . .

 

Started squeaking with the LCA install. Bushing have a flange on each side, slightly longer than the inner spacer,that contacts body mounting points.

 

those are the ones! please don't take this the wrong way, but did you put them in with thegrease fittingsin the right spot? i only ask because i've heard that some people installed them with the fittings facing the wrong direction. . . could be a source of rubbing/squeaking. . . did you readjust the pinion angle after the install? maybe that could be causing noise. just trying to eliminate potential sources of noise. i have a noise when i slow down coming from the rear driver's side wheel. . . can't find it.

 

When installing I thought to myself these are going to squeak, because the factory LCAs bushings don't touch the body just the inner spacer does.

 

It may just help someone who knows if you told us what freakin' LCA's you have?

For example - if they are steeda, then throw them away and get something else. The poly eurethane bushing steeda uses are JUNK. They will squeek/rattle a bit and then they will break. Many (more than 5) have broken those bushings. I personally broke them 3 times.

The BMR and Metco are the hands down best IMO. BMR are better constructed all around and the Metco uses a 1/2 poly 1/2 metal bushing that can stand up to just about any torque back there. So again, it will help out a lot if you tell which ones you have cause not all LCA's are created equal?
