I can't imagine what the deal is... it doesn't appear that any other list members have had this problem (at least none that want to talk about it) so I guess it's just an isolated incident. It is rather hard for me to imagine that the bushings are defective, but then it's kinda hard for me to believe that they aren't installed correctly or something. I can't imagine what kind of installation "failure" would lead to squeeky bushings. I'm pretty good about reading installation instructions that come with stuff, and I generally have a pretty good success rate with mechanical thingies... I'm just not sure what to do next. It's hard to motivate to do THAT job again. But then it's pretty much intolerable as is. Sigh... Steve EJ22 -> '86 Westy "Escape Pod"
