squeaky sway bar bushings
Recently replaced the sway bar link bushings on my 1995 Honda Accord
and after the first rain with them they really squeak a lot. Should i have put oil/lube on them while installing or are they not tight enough? I tightened the top nut down just as much as the old ones were. Any help? thanks. -- Posted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.

Any help? thanks. > You're using aftermarket urethane bushings. You need to put _silicone_ grease on them before installation and be prepared to pull them apart and regrease once in a while. Or you can install OEM and forget about them. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
