They can squeak if you don't grease them, try to get ones with zerk fittings already on them so you can grease them at every oil change so they don't make any noise. Prothane makes some nice bushings and so does Energy Suspension as mentioned. And you can find Energy's at most part stores.

summit seems to have the best prices. I just did front rear swaybars with endlinks for 60 and ended up with an extra set of rear swaybar bushings in 24mm if anyone wants.

Whilst poly bushings in a few other areas are an upgrade, in control arms they're NOT.

Best to use Moog rubber replacement bushings in front LCA's, front UCA's, and rear LCA's.

Preferably some sort of synthetic, non-petroleum based marine grease.
