Default Comtrol arms problems!!!

Anyone have any problems with 100% urethane bushings squeeking or making any noises? I wanna buy some but I was reading about poly/delrin is better?? I have Lakewood lowers already(not installed) butI need upper control arms but everyone sells them with no body bushings?? are you suppose to re-use the stock body bushings or do they come with them and just don't say.

They do squeek some and might annoy you if you dont like that kinda thing. Polygraphite i beleive is the one that does not squeek. Thats the extent of my knowledge about that, personally I dont mind at all, if the engine is loud enough or the stereo high enough it doesnt matter

Get your self a decent kit of urethane bushing. They are not supposed to squeak, the cheaper companys put graphite (i believe)?) in to the material which causes the squeaking. Prothane makes very nice bushing, I dont have any expirence with energy suspension, but Ive heard nothing but good feedback.

And dont use ANYTHING but rubber bushings in those upper control arms!!! Unless your car is a DRAG ONLY car. The rubber allows the rear axel to articulate properly (and keep those quad shocks also), if you stick something stiff in there your going to cause the suspension to bind up=no good.
