Fellow Stovies,

I have heard that polyurethane bushings squeak more than standard rubber bushings. Due to the shape the original cab mount bushings were in on my '64, I was planning on replacing them with poly bushings. Anyone ever had any problem with poly bushings squeaking?

Thanks for your input.

Mike,
Quickor Suspension in Portland OR has a great grease for this. They supply it with all their sway bars or anti-sway bars if you prefer. Go to www.quickor.com.

PS: What's up with Mark Martin? He should be kicking back now. Tell me he's not still chasing this year's championship. Kidding, just kidding!

You shouldn't have any problem if you lube
them first. I forgot to do that on a Nova
I built up, and it squeeks. Cecil.........

I've used poly bushings on some cars in the past without problems - just use the highly sticky grease that comes with them. I prefer the Energy Suspension brand - at least in Corvettes, the Prothane bushings often don't fit right.

Yeh, I like Mark too. Just didn't want him out tearing around breaking a sweat when everyone else in laying on the beach. Guess it's going to have to happen next year or not at all........
Winter solstice about a quarter to 5 tomorrow morning. Yee Haw!!
