T1 Bars Squeaking
I installed a set of T1 bars a couple weeks ago. They just now have started squeaking. I took off the bushings, greased the insides of them theroughly and reinstalled them but... they still squeak. Any sugestions?

The T1 links have a little play in them, and rattle a good bit. I replaced mine with stock links. The force through them was so great it tossed off the self-tightening nuts. I therefore double-nutted them and locked tited them. No problems or noise since.
I you have a Z06, the rear bar will rub the muffler.

bushings should not be squashed. Not sure on C6 but on C5 you need 3 washers top and bottom to stop the from crushing the isolator (rubber bushing). they should rotate freely when tighten down. Use die-electric grease as it will last longer. Tubes in NAPA for 7 bucks.
