Polyurethane bushings

I have polyurethane bushings on the front camber kit...... Ingalls camber kit.

They squeak on every little bump. Whether I'm going fast or slow. They've been on for about a week now though.

Anyone else have these? Experience the squeaks? Does it go away with time? Someone said to me it could be because they tightened the bushings with the control arm pointed down, causing more stress etc.

Heeeeelp.

The people who installed them did grease them up.

If not what do you recommend I use? I heard silicone and brake grease.

I wished I got the rubber ones.

Oh I have the energy suspension bushing kit, but decided against installing it. Maybe I should steal that little tub..... Is there anything I can kinda spray into that area? I dont really want to take it all apart and grease it up. But if I have to, then eventually I will.

I'm running poly bushings on my control arm anchor bolt kits (Camber Kits) and yes they do squeek every once and a while. Mostly because when they either get wet or moisture builds up they get soft and then when they dry out they harden up and squeek. I've tried wd40/grease/ but it still squeeks. The one I found to last the longest is Sylglyde. Its silicone grease in the tube. Try that.

Squeaking is too annoying...

People with rubber bushings for their anchor bolt camber kit.....Any squeaks? Should i trim that fender well trim thingy first? Before I rip out the polyurethane kit and get a rubber one....

Thanks.
