Yes i see but i was just being a little bit of a smart ass... I forgot to mention above that i had the frame side bushing fail ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1410872761.087854.jpg because i had a muffler shop reroute the exhaust and the heat caused it to fail. I put on a heat shield and all is good (they replaced it for free).

After a long day of wheeling i got back on the rode and the first time i hit the brakes the whole front axle rotated and mad a loud cluck. I couldn't figure it out what was causing it till i got home.

I am running only there rear uppers and I defiantly have the Squeak. Won't take a lot of grease either for some reason...I had just blown out a second driveshaft u joint and cheaped out big time on control arms..I'd go with something with Johnny joints for sure if I did it again.

If you run a poly joint dry most of the time it won't take grease. You need to take the joint apart and grease it.

Ohh I didn't know that! I just thought that it had zerk fittings on it I could just grease and go...

If only it were that easy. If you make it a habit to grease them often and well before they need it, it'll help out. Otherwise, you really do need to take apart dry poly bushings and lather them up.

I too am in the pooped bushing club, drivers lower. RK did overnight me a new bushing so that was cool. Stock exhaust with evo skid. RK mentioned a bad pour. No squeaking issues so far.
