Oil?

 

[bnrodn]

They oil that thing up...

They should be using grease, not oil.

Polyurethane bushings need silicone grease, not oil. If your shop truly used oil, you need a new shop.

Sorry they were using red grease!! I just had them put on middle to see what happens if it does work then i have a decision to make

I recently reached out to Afe about my creaking issues with my front sway bar and they sent me their new bushings under warranty. They claim the new bushings are softer than the original. You should email afe they are pretty helpful.

Adding more grease solved my issues but the new bushings may fix yours. I’m planning on adding the new bushings in the next month or so. It wouldn’t hurt to explain your issues to Afe. I emailed [email protected].

Red grease is usually like axle grease. Stop going to that shop…now.
Get someone to take it apart and clean that trash off then reinstall with the correct grease. And again, moving the end link to a different hole will NOT stop a bushing from squeaking.

He has a new rear bar, this isn’t a hard bushing issue. It’s an incorrectly greased, install issue.

Yeah red grease doesn’t sound right.

It's the grease they use on spark plugs, screws etc. it didnt come with lubricant

 

[bnrodn]

What lubricant grease to get??

 

[UNBROKEN]

Again, you need silicone grease. You can buy small containers of it from Energy Suspension at O’Reilly.

The AFe should have come with a packet of opaque silicone grease.

 

[bnrodn]

Yeah I didnt see it I will have him take off a d wash down to get it all cleaned up..I will get the grease you have referenced

 

[bnrodn]

I talked to Afe and Lethal Performance they are sending me a 2 upgraded pushing kids for this .. I will have AFe removed cleaned and put back on the right way..

bnrodn,

"Super Lube" silicone lubricating grease works well for urethane bushings. Do not use a multi-purpose grease - this type of grease is not silicone based and will ruin polyurethane bushings.

You can buy the silicone grease it on Amazon (and other places). Recommend that you buy a grease gun and a 14 oz. cartridge so the grease can be pumped into the channels of the bushings. Taking the sway bar off to reapply grease is a lot of work (in my opinion), a grease gun makes the job very easy and quick.

HTH.
