You suffering creaks too?

Today I gave all the bushes a good soaking, but to no avail.

Maybe with time the spray will penetrate, but didn't sound any different after.

I'll be damned if Im gonna drop all the wishbones again....

I've not driven mine yet bud. But a did notice a creaking sound when lifting the car up and down onto the stands. Sounds like it could prove to be a PITA! Have you had the alignment on your car done since fitting? I'm tempted to take mine off and grease them before alignment now. It did say to install without grease though.

silicone spray will only be a temporary measure. I think the grease i used was called marine grease. very thick, but waterproof.

Yeah had alignment done already, but I also get the groaning/creaking when jacking the car up, thus letting the suspension hang.

I was also told not to grease anything on install.
