Did some searching and found some good reads, but still have a few questions.
I get random squeaks and creaks from the front end at low speeds when going over small bumps in the road. I have discovered that there are two schools on this. 1) Let it be and 2) Drive yourself crazy trying to eliminate the noise. I have a RE 3.5" lift with from what I can tell are all polyurethane bushings. It was greased initially on purchase by a mechanic (good Jeep engine guy, but not great at modified suspensions), inspected and greased by 4 Wheel Parts (hope they know what they are doing) and then a few months later I climbed under there and made sure that the boots were full and that grease was flowing out of any that didn't have boots with Lucas Red n Tacky.
After I greased, no noise for a few days, but then it popped back up on the front passenger side. This one has stuck around awhile. I suspect it is in the lower control arm.
Is it better to go with rubber bushings if I'm wanting a quiet suspension and won't be offroading much? Anything differently I should be doing with greasing the poly bushings? OCD doesn't allow me to just let it go! Thanks for the help!
