uhh, i have no idea what you're talking about since your post isnt really all that specific but if you want to try and quick lube the RUBBER bushings (which arent really made to be lubed) just spray them down with some canned silicone lubricant. do NOT use wd-40 or any other petroleum based spray as it will not like the rubber bushing.

if its the swaybar bushings, and not the endlinks, take the bushings off the swaybar and wrap it with teflon tape where the bushing fits over. overlap the tape by 1/2 width all the way across. stops the squeeking alot longer then just normal lubing will.

Ya, it's the swaybar rubber bushings. I'll try the silicone lube first. I remember doing the teflon tape trick about 20 years ago on a Trans Am & that worked for a long time.
Thanks for jogging my memory.

the silicon will squeeze out as mentioned. i know of the teflon tape trick as it was recomended by addco for the swaybars i purchased for my supras. works great, though i need to redo it on my 84. its been about 7-8 years. lol

What's up guys? I just had the same thing going on with my 95. I was told it was contol arm bushings, so I had them replaced and it still sqeaked. I had another mechanic look at it and he showed me exactly what it was. It was the bushings at the very bottom of the struts. They were worn pretty bad which is what was causing the sqeaking. They were replaced and now no more squeaking. I think he said the bushing were like $5 or $10. The lot where I just bought the car paid for everything so I wouldn't know what labor would cost. Hope this helps!
