Default Anyone's stock LCA squeak from the bushings?

I have been getting a squeak from the rear of the car mostly from initial acceleration ( stop lights , etc) for a few months. I think I narrowed down to the LCA's. Anyone with similar problems with their stock LCA's. I have been thinking about putting on the J&M Extreme Joint Rear Lower Control Arms. Any use these and how do work with a lowered car. Car is stock, but I am thinking about lowering it about an 1 inch the future.

Mine did and it drove me nuts. Replaced them with UMI LCAs and problem solved. If you plan on lowering you might want to look at some relocation brackets

My stock LCA bushings start to squeak about every couple months on the passenger side (driver side is fine). A little silicone spray quiets them down. Same thing as you - squeaks on initial acceleration, not over bumps, etc. As long as silicone spray keeps doing the trick, I'm ok with spraying it once a month or so...

That is what I have been doing lately, mostly to make sure that is what was squeaking. Usually worked for a short while or made them a tad quieter.
