Question How can I stop the noise????

Is there anything that I could spray it with that would make it a little quieter? I can hear the torque arm moving inside the bushing, and it is driving me nuts! I had the bushing installed when I had a bunch of transmission work done to the car, and they said they put the grease in the bushing prior to installing it.....hmm......now I'm not so sure. It was quiet for about 3000 miles, now it makes a scronching sound. I know I could jack the car up, remove the TA from the bracket, remove the bushing and re-install, but I was hoping for an easier fix.
Any ideas???

Personaly i would try some type of liquid lube like wd-40, When i got my ss with 4,000 miles the rear bushing were squeaking a bit and i sprayed some wd-40 on it and its been good for a year now.

I was kinda skeered that WD-40 would break down the polyurethane; and was kinda thinking of using a silicon type of spray because of this.
