I don't think that there`s an anti squeak remedy, its just that type of bushing.

I wouldn't be spraying any lube, you may want to check with a supplier and get another opinion.

Originally the rubber type didn't squeak.

 

You will want to use a NON petroleum based grease. Petroleum based greases will ruin the bushings.

 

replace them , I put a set of self lubricating ones in my Camaro, bad choice if I could do it again I would have put the rubber ones in.

 

The squeaky wheel get the grease. LOL

The sway bar urethane bushings seem to be the worst offenders.
I replaced the mounting bushings with the style that uses a zerk fitting and applied grease on the contact surfaces of the end links.
No more squeaks from the sway bar.

 

the only way to remedy this is to dissemble them and thoroughly lube with silicone grease. the bushing mfg sells it in a tub. use lots.

 

They seem to quit squeaking when you add extreme header heat...

THEY JUST MELT :sign0020:

Never have been a poly fan because of the noise they make, and after seeing this, I will just chalk it up to one more reason why I will NEVER RUN POLY AGAIN.

 

My front suspension squeaks every time I hit a bump or a dip. I know that polyurethane bushings are better than rubber bushings but the squeaking is so annoying!
Is there a way to stop the squeaking without pulling the bushings out? What Lube would be the best?
Thanks.

Yea take them out put the rubber ones back in. I had the same problem after I installed the poly, they were quiet for awhile but then started squeaking, got tired of the noise pulled them back out and installed stock rubber bushings no more squeak.

 

If I'm not installing stock rubber bushings I use the Polygraphite bushings from P.S.T. They are graphite impregnated and work well.

 

I worked in the pit at a quick lube for 20 years. We had several grease fittings for our lube guns and one was a needle. Go to your local lube shop and ask them to squeeze the needle between the metal and the bushing and give it a shot or two of lithium grease as it is not petroleum based

 

lithium grease is made from oil and lithium soap . it is petroleum based. do not use this only use silicone grease. that's what the poly mfg. recommend

 

Thanks guys for all the info. It very useful information to me. I'm not sure how I"m going to handle it just yet. I may go to rubber bushings or take them out and lube the crap out of them. They've always squeaked since i have had the car.

As Bruce stated, the polygraphite bushings work pretty good. I have had them installed on my 57 for over 6yrs now, and no squeaks.

I installed poly bushings in 2003 and used the supplied sticky silicon lube. No squeaks whatsoever. I would try getting some silicon spray and spray everyday for a week then spray once a week and then maybe once a month for maintaining. Hopefully that will work for you. Better than disassembly.

 

Dearl I may try that for now and see what happens
Thanks.

 

Install louder mufflers, or turn up your radio! :sign0020:

 

I have friend that had them in a Chevell and he tried every thing. I think the only solution is to change them back to rubber. But that is just my opinion. I would sure try every suggestion possible before changing them. That's a lot of work.

They aren't better, they are different. Some like the ride that rubber gives, some like the handling that polyurethane gives.

With minor mods, my 55 handles fricken great with rubber, I don't think I'd trade for poly's if they were free and came with free installation and they never squeaked. Everything is a trade off.

 

There's always del-a-lum bushings. Self-lubricated, never squeak, have zirk fittings, and handle better than rubber and poly

They do cost more, but you'll never have to replace them either.

 

I've had PST polygraphite sway bar bushings for over a decade front and rear. Had them when I had stock A arms too. Used supplied grease liberally, they've worked great.
