I can tell I am quickly getting old, the poly bushings in my car squeak while I drive the car which is driving me nuts. I had a shop pull them out and grease them inside and out, worked for a couple days then the noise was back.
Any choices other than rubber, or is the rubber a good alternative? |

just a point of reference to squeaking....
I put Weltmeister (hard poly like) bushing into my street car front and rear this was around 1986 the squeaks were significant I grooved (with a dremel) a spiral channel that goes around the bushing for the length of the bushing... installed grease Zerks... right over the groove. no more squeaks in 35 years. also I experienced more sticktion.... in the suspension before the zerks the race car runs roller bearings front and rear |

Thanks for all of the suggestions |
