The rubber inside is actually somewhat under pressure, really pressed in. Silicone paste would be the ideal lubricant, but I don't think there is a way to get any more in there. If you drill a hole and install a grease nipple on the outside, you would damage the bushing too much. Dcates1@home.com writes: The Company that I work for manufactures greasing equipment. I have not yet looked at my squeaking passenger side bushings, but we make an injector needle for grease that might work perfectly. Maybe I will take a look and see this weekend if that kind of setup might work. If it will, I will try injecting some silicone grease into the creaking joint. But, it has kind of quit creaking now that the weather has warmed up. Tom Cates 83 Westfalia, "Hammurabi"
