Squeaking is driving me insane!!

[LinX]

OK so Ive had the ES bushings for some time now and they are great for handling and performance but god damn do they squeek. Ive greased them many times but the noise just keeps haunting me. If it werent for my mp3 player Id lose it for sure. What other bushings can give this level of performance without the hassle of greasin? If all else fails Im thinking about reverting back to OEM.

can you locate which one is the problem?

they make a half rubber/polly mix that is more OEMish.



but yeah,the polly bushings are known for squeaking like an old tractor. later.

I'm not exactly sure which bushing it is. I have a feeling its either the LCA or the endlinks. Even if I were to grease them though, the noise returns. The noise is too annoying and it really outweighs the strong points of the kit.

I have the graphitepoly ones(black), and i get the occasional squeak i think. Which do you have? the red?

I lubed mine up pretty damn good and still had a bunch of lub left. kinda sucks that it all squeezes out when you put the bushings in.

apparentlly i misunderstood what i read. i was refering to the ''HYPER-FLEX'' bushings.

i saw ''polyurethane blend'' and hyper-flex, along with the black color of the bushing and automaticlly assumed it was a rubber/polyurethane mix. although it doesn't specify on their website if it is or isn't, i think it's just different blends of pollyurethanes for certain characteristics. later.
