squeeks?
 

i just installed UMI lower control arms and a panhard bar and them ****s squeek!! i didnt have a grease gun lastnight so i drove to my friends to grease them summabitches up. turns out now they squeek more after i lubed em up them before.. is that normal? or did i destroy them by driving on them for a bit?

I have the same ones. I put synthetic grease on the sides of the bushings before I installed them, then used synthetic grease in the grease fitting and no squeaks...

did you use regular grease? you need a special synthetic grease for the poly bushings

:hammer: im not sure what kinda it was but it wasnt synthetic.. if i just put them in the grease fittings will it work or do i need to take them off again?

You definetly need special grease for polyeurethane. It's white and gets all over the place LOL. Do not use regular wheel bearing or ball joint grease.

Aw F***, I did that, i guess i gotta take all the grease outta the damn bushing now. I used the prelube that they come with, but packed them with regular grease. where do i find this special synthetic poly grease at? man i could kick myself in the head, thats y my panhard squeeks, that god my LCA's dont hav grease fittings

i got synthetic grease.. can i just put more in using the fillings or do i have to take them off and get the other grease outa there?

your probably gonna have to clean it out fully and then fill it back up. whered you get your grease at?

uuggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing like doings things twice!!


the synthetic? i got it at a local parts store

keep in mind you wanna tighten the bolts down with the suspension loaded

thanks, i didn't know that. :cheers:

.... still squeeks. only the passanger LCA tho
