He probably meant he put in suspension parts with rod ends instead of bushings. When rod ends get old, the tolerances get loose and they get noisy. To get rid of the noise you will need to replace the rod ends (and get quality rod ends or the noise will come right back) or replace the suspension parts altogether with parts that use bushings instead of rod ends.
