al4x Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I've fitted a few of these over the years and can never stop them squeaking, is it something you just have to get used to or is there anything you can do. Some suggestions are lithium grease but I've tried this and seems to be a short term cure. I'm getting sorely tempted to junk them and go back to rubber.

Paul223 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 could try some silicone spray or dry lube on assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 yup tried that as well, seems whatever you use it wears off. if its wet then noise goes entirely but otherwise seems a ****** to stop. They are a popular addition but seems a bit of a google search shows lots of the same issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem, fitted new poly anti roll bar bushes to my L200 Animal and they love squeeking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
