Default RR Racing USRS Lower Control Arm Bushing - Noise?

I installed the RR Racing USRS lower control arm bushings on my 2008 IS350 a few years ago. I am starting to have some intermittent noise in the front end. Hard to described with words, but I would equate it to a creaking/cracking.

I am not sure if it is being caused by the LCA bushings. Couple questions (1) how often do you have to lube them? (2) have any of you experienced noise when using the RR Racing USRS LCAs?

I would think that if they’re squeaking it’s time. I would email them or message them on FB.

It’s hard to tell based on your description but if it’s been a few years it wouldn’t hurt to relube them, we sell lube packets.

The noise went away after a bit. I didn't apply any of the urethane bushing lube. Got lucky, I guess
