So do urathane bushings squeek?

 

no replies? no one here uses poly suspension bushings?

 

I have them, but they're not installed yet. I'll let you know! (maybe in a month)

 

I know some people who have the unobtanium bushings say they squeak. Not really the answer to your question, just a little insight.

 

I had poly bushings everywhere on my car. It was a FC, BTW. Well, at least for all the spots that I could find poly replacements. If not, I had MazdaSpeed bushings. Anyways....I never had an issue with any squeaking. I liberally used the super sticky grease to lube them up as I put them in. There was no extra grease after I was done. That seemed to do the trick.



Don't let some squeaking keep you from doing this. Your bushings ARE shot if they are the same rubber ones that rolled out of the factory. You will see this once you get them off of the suspension pieces. You will feel the difference too. Rubber has a relatively short life compared to other components in the car. Just replace them and enjoy the positive feel they give when driving. They don't age as poorly as rubber does. For all practical purposes, they'll last the life of the car. Poly bushings are a great, inexpensive, and pain in the *** to do yourself upgrade. But it's worth it in the end.



But there might have been sqeaking as far as I know. Who could say really? That car was loud. Squeaking was the least of my worries.
