I haven't bought it and I don't think it will help me since it's so bad. Check your rear upper control arms. Those are whats causing my rear squeaks. The bushings are shot and really really bad.

You know i did notice my rear UCA bushings are getting shot. Maybe thats the cause. I mean, this product only fixes minor stuff like rejuvenating the rubber bushings thats it. It ain't no holy grail. But I just had to try it. Maybe would be a nice fix for the guys with new daizen bushings though.

Definitely would be great for Daizens, but for people like you and me who's bushings are shot we're just going to have to replace them. I know that's the cause of mine at least, because I hit them with white lithium grease before and it stopped the squeaking for like 2 days then it was back, and that was the only part I hit with the grease.

LOL this stuff sounds exactly like Bars leak. The stuff you can use to fix rear main seal leaks. After a google search it looks like thats exactly what it is. It expands gaskets and other seals as a temporary fix.
