Spohn LCA problem or normal? Just Installed Spohn, Tubular, LCA, chromemoly ones with Poly Bushings.
Whenever I go over uneven road surfaces or bumps they sqeak. I believe they came pre lubed.
Do they already need to be greased with lithium( I heard its the proper lubefor Poly) or is that just the normal sound of the LCAs
Im asking because the first night I didnt hear any noise after I had them installed and I did the 2nd day or so.

You have to Prelube them. I always prelube, otherwise the squeek will drive me nuts!!! Probably gonna have to take it back apart and grease it, or deal with the annoying "my car sounds crappy cuz it squeeks"! 
Lesson learned. You gotta lube it before you stick it. HAHA
Lesson learned. You gotta lube it before you stick it. HAHA I pull the LCA's out once a year and smear a bunch of Marine grease on the bushings, on the LCA brackets, and on the bolt too. Then install them loosley. I grab the grease gun and lube the grease fittings a bunch (if they have Grease fittings on them that is). Then torque them down and use a rag to wipe off any excess grease. Mine have never squeaked doing that.

Well I know that Lithium is the grease of choice for Polyeurythane.
and I believe they came pre greased. but I will re grease them. they have small gold inserts or call it what you will to have grease injected in that area and I torques them less, because it said dry torque it 77 and prelubed torque it 55 ft lbs and I torqued it 55.
