Default A-Arm Squeak Spray

'95 LT1 Coupe:

So I just did my ball joints and tie rod ends...oh, yeah, smooth and sweet!

But I didn't replace my A-arm bushings (combination of decent visual inspection plus laziness).

The front end still squeaks like an old hay wagon...

Anyhow, has anyone had success spraying A-arm bushings with WD40 (or whatever) to make the squeakiness go away?

Yeah, yeah, I could replace them, but I don't freaking feel like it and as I mentioned, they still look okay.

I've used spray silicone on my sway bar bushings to get rid of the squeaks with good success.
I think WD 40 would breakdown the bushings even more.
