Ive got a REALLY squeaky upper wishbone, it started a month ago. I have the new bushings in hand but I dont have the time to install anything this month. How long can i go on before my wishbone melts and I fly off the road in a ball of flames? Thanks, Phil --- dneu <dneu@NETZERO.NET> wrote: > I JUST replaced the bushings 5000 mi. ago.
