Loud Suspension!


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know a remedy for squeaky urethane bushings? The ones in question have about 10 years and 8000 miles, and the noise has become rather obnoxious. I'm hoping some kind of spray/liquid will do it - anything short of complete replacement.......... :(

My bushings came with a lubricant which was liberally applied prior to installation - no squeaks so far - touch wood!

 

A couple of months ago I replaced the rubber spring cups with Eurethane ones which did not come with lubricant - eeeh, eeeh, eeeeh!!

 

Rather than R/R the lot, I used aerosol lithium grease (white), sprayed liberally, and it seems to have done the trick, although it did take a couple of hours driving to settle in. The great thing is that it's clean and very fine in the aerosol form, so it could possibly work for you.

Thanks, Roger.

 

Aerosol lithium grease - I'll give it a try!

 

I just put some new urethane bushings in another car last summer which seemed a little oily, and used a silicone grease when installing. They are quiet so far, too.
