Exclamation No noise poly bushings

One of the main reason why I never installed a full bushing kit is because of the noise. I did find this while looking for seperate bushings and now I might get the bushings if this threading tip works. Every time I grease my rear sway bushings, the grease get pressed out within a few days, the bushing don't make noise like a LCA bushing would. I'll try it on the rear sway bushings to if it works, at least holding some of the grease.

If you have had problems with poly-urethane bushings that squeaked in the past, the new Energy Suspension Hyper-flex bushings should fix the squeaks. If you do not want to replace all your existing squeaking poly-urethane bushings, you can tap an SAE thread into the I.D. hole only, of any sway bar bushing, control arm or leaf spring bushing. The thread should go through the entire bore of the bushings. The groove you create will keep the grease from squeezing out the side of the bushing. Do not put a thread in any metal parts. We are not telling you to drill a hole in the bushing. Look at the bushing, does it have a hole you can stick your finger into and is there a metal rod or tubing that fits into this hole, well this is the hole that you must thread.

I don't know what they're talking about, but Hyper-flex bushings can be noisy.

Re: No noise poly bushings

I've used Amsoil Heavy Duty grease on all my bushings and no noise. It's water proof and made by one of the best oil/grease companies.
