I have the RE 3.5 inch super ride kit, which has the fixed lower control arms. From the time I installed it, the front control arms would squeak pretty bad. I confirmed this by loosening them past where I would feel safe driving much to see what happened. While not torqued to spec, they would not squeak, but they would pop when I turned, etc. due to being loose.
I have greased them until the grease is oozing from everywhere on multiple occaisions. I installed this lift in March, so it has had 9 months experience. It has neither gotten better or worse in this time. Upon inspection, the bushings look fine and I can't see any damage, so it may just be an annoyance.
Is this a known issue with RE bushings? I tried searching some to see if I could find anything out about whether others were experiencing this, but didn't find much. If someone thinks that I should replace the bushings, what would the recommendation for those be?
Thanks,
Paul
