Squeaking polyurethane bushings
Last winter I replaced all the front end bushings and the rear dog bone bushings with polyurethane ones. I used plenty of the supplied grease during the installation. They were quiet for about 2000 miles. Now all of them are squeaking. I see now that they offer poly/graphite bushings. Anyboby have any experience with the poly/graphite ones? Is it worth doing the job over again and installing the graphite ones, or just live with the squeaks? I can quiet them down for a few days with silicone spray lube, but it doesn't last long. Also, I want to thank everyone that responded to my search for a transmission shop. I will definitely give Grant a call. Thanks again

Polygraphite is the only way to go if you want to get rid of the squeeks. Guess it all depends on your tolerance. I have an Energy Suspension kit that covers the rear end of the car that I might sell if your interested...
