Poly bushings Last November I rebuilt my whole front suspension 1998 firebird. I have always wanted to try poly bushings and even though many folks told me I would hate them I put them on. For the first 3-4 months it was dead silent, then the driver side started making some noises and now both sides do.
It is bad until you hit a few bumps then it is not so bad for the rest of the day.
What lube might help from the outside of the bushings to quit these? Seems like it is only the top bushings.

That spray stuff I don't believe lasts for too long.. that's like for your door hinge squeaks and stuff.
I'm using marine grade grease now.. haven't had a long term test on it, but there's a lot of people that seem to go with this type. Holds up well against the elements.
