i heard on powerblock TV that polyurethane bushings speak uncontrolably. i rebuilt my front end and now my springs and bushings squeak so much its not even funny. what can i do to eliminate the squeaking?

I can't say I've ever had one speak out of line..But as for the noise, did you use the lube that came with it? All mine are polyurethane and not a pep....

yeah mine squeak like heck too, and ive lube them like 3tines in a week.

Yeah, I caught the speak insted of squeak too. Hell, we all make typos. The bushings should have come with lubricant. If not, try spraying some heavy duty silicone spray in the joints.

i didnt get any lube at all. im not sure if the squeek is coming from the spring rubbing on the spring perch or if it is from the bushings themselves. what kind of lube it it? where can i get some for cheap? my local mustang store is super expensive. would OSH or DALE hardware have it?

i sprayed it with heavy duty silicone but it seemed to get worse in the rain. im gonna try taking it all loose so i can lube every amount of surface area i can

I couldn't help myself. I have to be one of the worst for typos and spelling. Anyways, You have to lube them up good when putting them in or you will get lots of noise. I don't know exactly what you can use instead but I would go back (if you can) and try getting some from the people you bought the kit from...

ill try using a couple different kinds of lubes. but in the meantime ill ask MustangsPlus if they have any lube for their kit.

Years ago graphite lube was recommended. Not sure if that has changed.
